2026 Georgetown Blue Marlin Tournament | Phenom 43
Join us aboard the Phenom 43 for the 2026 Georgetown Blue Marlin Tournament. We put in long days offshore, released a sailfish and brought several mahi aboard during a hard-fought week. We didn’t leave with the win, but we came home with fish, memories and more tournament experience together.
Key Takeaways
-
•The Phenom 43 ran the 2026 Georgetown Blue Marlin Tournament in full tournament mode and ended the week with a sailfish release and several mahi aboard even though the team came up short of a win.
-
•Tournament days are built on long hours of staying ready behind the spread watching for movement behind a bait and keeping an eye on the teasers until the right bite comes.
-
•Long offshore runs and full fishing days show why the Phenom 43 was designed around speed range cockpit space and crew comfort so you can work the deck and settle in between opportunities.
We had the Phenom 43 back in tournament mode for the 2026 Georgetown Blue Marlin Tournament, ready for long runs offshore and full days with the spread out.
We went looking for a win. We didn’t get it this year, but we released a sailfish, brought several mahi aboard and put in the time together. Our latest video brings you along for the fishing and the work that went into the week.
Putting in the Hours Offshore
Tournament fishing asks you to stay ready, even when you’ve been watching the spread for hours. You’re looking for movement behind a bait, keeping an eye on the teasers and hoping the next bite is the one you came for.
That was our focus in Georgetown. We spent long days offshore, working the spread and giving ourselves every opportunity we could. There’s plenty of anticipation in those hours, and it keeps everyone paying attention.
A Sailfish Release and Mahi on Deck
Releasing a sailfish was one of the highlights of our week. Getting a billfish to the boat and watching it swim away is a moment we always appreciate, especially after putting in the hours to find it.
We also brought several mahi aboard, adding some action and fish for the table along the way. Those bites were welcome, and they gave us more of the moments we enjoy sharing with everyone who follows the team.
We wanted a different result when the tournament was over, but there was still plenty from the week worth bringing home.
Aboard the Phenom 43
A tournament week gives us time to use the boat the way we designed it to be used. Long offshore runs call for speed and range, while full days of fishing make cockpit space and crew comfort just as important.
The Phenom 43 gave us the room to work and the comfort to settle in between opportunities. From the run out to the ride home, it was our base for everything the week brought.
We left Georgetown without the win, but with another tournament together, a sailfish release and several mahi to show for the effort. Watch the recap above to ride along with us.
