Start Planning Your Mid-July Getaway Today at Our Gulf Shore Beach Rentals
Held over five days in mid-July, the Blue Marlin Grand Championship is the finale of the Gulf Coast Triple Crown Series, an event not to be missed, but since you are reading this, we suspect you know this already! Offering a history that stretches back well over a decade, the best professional anglers make their way to our docks, hoping for the catch that will declare them the champion. Also known as the Greatest Show in Sportfishing, you may not be participating in the tournament, but you will feel some of its glamor rubbing off on you as you hobnob with the greats. Sponsored by the Wharf, our fantastic “Lifestyle” Center, obviously the focus is to catch the biggest blue marlin, but even the most dedicated anglers can’t deny that the possibility of taking home the million-plus dollar purse is quite possibly its biggest draw. And although you may not be one of the people hoping for a nibble, the onshore events that include a kickoff party and the winner’s celebration are open to everyone, as are the daily weigh-ins, which is where a huge part of the excitement takes place!
