The Edisto Invitational Billfish Tournament is the finale of the South Carolina Governor's Cup Billfishing Series, held annually at The Marina at Edisto Beach on Edisto Island, South Carolina. The 2026 event runs July 15–18. For teams that have fished the full Governor's Cup circuit, Edisto is where the series title gets decided — points accumulated across the Charleston Billfish Invitational, Georgetown Blue Marlin Tournament, HMY Lowcountry Cup, and Carolina Billfish Classic all come down to this final stop. The format is Captain's Choice — two out of three fishing days. Black Book has vessels positioned in the Carolinas for tournament season. If you want to fish the Edisto Invitational on a privately owned, tournament-rigged sportfish boat, this is where to start.
Availability is limited. Inquire early.
