The Islands of Islamorada Welcomes the SFC All-Star Event This December
This December, the world of sportfishing turns its eyes to Islamorada as The Islands of Islamorada proudly hosts the Sport Fishing Championship (SFC) All-Star Week. Broadcast live to over 330 million homes around the globe, this multi-day event will celebrate the thrill of competitive angling while showcasing the natural beauty, history, and world-class hospitality of the Florida Keys.
The Sportfishing Capital of the World
Islamorada has long held the title of the “Sportfishing Capital of the World”—and for good reason. Its unique location, where the Atlantic Ocean meets Florida Bay, creates an unrivaled variety of fishing opportunities. From deep-sea adventures chasing sailfish and mahi-mahi, to backcountry excursions through mangrove mazes in search of tarpon, snook, and redfish, Islamorada offers anglers of every level a chance to reel in something extraordinary. Pair that with sparkling blue waters, year-round warm weather, and a community built on its fishing heritage, and you have a destination that has attracted the world’s top fishermen for generations.
