In & Out Shootout

The In & Out Shootout introduces one of the most unique formats in competitive billfishing. Hosted at Abaco Beach Resort & Boat Harbour Marina and organized by Skips Tournaments, this head-to-head event pits inboard-powered boats against outboard-powered boats in a structured divisional showdown.

Designed to fuel both competition and rivalry, the In & Out Shootout delivers offshore intensity with dockside bragging rights on the line.

Black Book Charters coordinates tournament-ready vessels for teams competing in the inboard division of this event.

‍

A Head-to-Head Power Format

The In & Out Shootout separates teams into two distinct divisions:

• Inboard-powered boats
• Outboard-powered boats

While each division competes within its class, a cumulative points format ultimately determines which power category reigns supreme. The result is a layered competition that keeps teams engaged from the first bite through the final day.

Offshore Competition in Abaco Waters

Located in the northern Bahamas, Abaco provides direct access to productive Gulf Stream waters known for:

• Blue Marlin
• White Marlin
• Sailfish

Fishing grounds are easily accessible from the marina, allowing teams to maximize time offshore. Abaco’s proximity to South Florida also makes it an efficient destination for competitive teams traveling from the U.S.
