Bigger fleet, more anglers: the 31st billfish tournament packs Bahía del Sol

More than 300 foreign visitors arrived for the Nov 9–12, 2025 edition.

The 31st edition ran Nov 9–12, 2025 from Bahía del Sol, with yachts from several countries tying up at the hotel's dock. Diario La Página reported that more than 300 foreigners entered the country for the event, and the tourism minister said the number of boats and participants had beaten earlier editions.

For a sense of what winning looks like: at the 30th edition in November 2024, Diario El Salvador reported that the boat Allure won the billfish category with 7,025 points and the boat Biggie won the marlin category after releasing seven marlin.
