The HMY Lowcountry Cup is the third leg of the South Carolina Governor's Cup Billfishing Series, hosted by HMY Yacht Sales out of Charleston, South Carolina. The 2026 event runs May 27–30. The format is best two out of three fishing days, with teams fishing the full three-day window and selecting which two days count toward the tournament and Governor's Cup standings. For teams competing in the full series, the Lowcountry Cup is where the points race can shift significantly heading into the back half of the season. Black Book has vessels positioned in the Carolinas for tournament season. If you want to fish the Lowcountry Cup on a privately owned, tournament-rigged sportfish boat with a crew that competes at this level, this is where to start.
Availability is limited. Inquire early.
