Reel in a great time and support a worthy cause at the Legendary Marine Fishing Tournament, sponsored by Everglades Boats. Set against the world-famous waters of Destin Harbor — celebrated as the World's Luckiest Fishing Village — this daylong tournament invites anglers of all experience levels to compete in one of Florida's most beautiful fishing destinations, with all proceeds benefiting the Emerald Coast Autism Center.
The action starts early: lines go in at 6 AM Saturday, scales open at 2 PM, and the tournament wraps at 5 PM. The real celebration kicks off at 6 PM with a lively after-party featuring dinner, a silent auction, and a prize ceremony honoring both the biggest catches and the generous spirit that makes this event special. The Friday evening Captains Party at LuLu's Yacht Club sets a festive tone the night before.
Whether you are a serious angler chasing tournament hardware or a first-timer wanting an authentic Gulf fishing experience with a giving mission, this tournament is a summer standout. Entry includes a tournament shirt, full access to the after-party, and bragging rights on one of Florida's most beloved waterfronts.
