ALL roads lead to Bimini on February 1 to 5 for the first Resorts World Ocean Sports Wahoo Challenge, which offers a guaranteed minimum payout of $35,000

Resorts World Bimini, the Hilton Hotel at Resorts World, and the Bahamas Ministry of Tourism have teamed team up to host the first of what is expected to be an annual event. Bimini has a reputation as the big game-fishing capital of the world.

The tournament fee is $3,000 per boat with advance registration and covers tournament participation of one to six registered participants per boat.

A new website - ResortsWorldOceanSports.com - has been launched for upcoming Ocean Sports events in Bimini and competition registration and details can be found there.

As part of the entertainment, American country music artist and songwriter Phil Vassar will perform live on February 4 at Resorts World Bimini, the day before the Super Bowl which will be screened live at the resort’s casino.
