The Sailfish Open at Hawks Cay, an official leg of the Sailfish Pro Series, will be held February 10-12, 2011. 

This will be the third year for the highly acclaimed Sailfish Open at Hawks Cay in beautiful Duck Key, Florida.  The inaugural tournament attracted a fleet of 30 sportfishing teams paying out a whopping $250,000 in cash prizes, and is anticipated to grow fast.  The three day tournament includes VIP parties and two days of highly competitive fishing, world class entertainment, gourmet food, top shelf open bar and a one-of-a-kind, custom-made Irish crystal trophy. 

The newly renovated Hawks Cay resort will be the host facility for this exciting new event. With its prime location in Duck Key, Hawk’s Cay offers easy access to the Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico for some of the best sailfishing in the Keys!  In addition to great fishing, the resort has much to offer the entire family including a personal dolphin encounter experience, a kids club and beautiful pools!

“It is good to see tournament organizers working together.  It is our hope that by adjusting both our dates that teams will have the opportunity to fish both events.  At the end of the day we want our teams to be able to do what they love, sailfish!” said Chris King, President of Executive Adventures and parent company to the Sailfish Open.
