This program is chasing trophy blue marlin around the world at a level difficult to comprehend... This operation will run three motherships in remote locations so the chance to catch a trophy blue marlin will always be optimal during the changing seasons. All of the boats and equipment used are top notch and have to perform in these remote locations which is why the team uses the boats above.
BCS175 will start after the 8000 mi journey from Europe to Mozambique by October of 2024, then spend 2025 in the Indian and continue east to GBR by October. 2026 south Pacific until May and North Pacific staring in June. Coming home tour with 3 of our home ports in 2026. Kona July - Newport Beach September - Cabo October.
In this video we are highlighting the crew of the 175 after the maiden voyage from Antalya to Palma de Mallorca and prepare for the long journey ahead. Spotlights on the Bell 505 Helicopter and U-Work Submarine are not to be missed.
Along with the fishing a lot of research will come from the program. The travels, the locations, satellite tagging and even the video footage captured by the team will be world class. The combination of these will hopefully allow for the next generation of sportfishing to be left with a sport in a better place than we found it and to inspire the next generation to get out on the water.
