There’s something special about August on the Gulf Coast — the water is warm, the sunsets are golden, and the excitement in Orange Beach kicks up a notch with one of the most anticipated events of the season: the White Marlin Shootout.

This year’s tournament runs August 17–23, 2025, and as someone who lives right here in Orange Beach, I can tell you firsthand, the buzz around the docks is already building.

Whether you're an avid offshore angler or just love the energy that comes with a world-class sportfishing tournament, this is a week you don’t want to miss.

Tournament Schedule & Highlights

All events are held at Orange Beach Marina, with weigh-ins each evening from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM at the Mobile Big Game Fishing Club Weigh Dock, and plenty of opportunities to mingle with captains, crews, and fellow fishing fans.

Here’s the official schedule:

• Sunday, August 17:
  5:00 PM – 7:00 PM: Registration & Captains Meeting at B&T Marine

• Monday–Saturday, August 18–23:
  5:00 PM – 7:00 PM: Daily weigh-ins at the dock

• Wednesday, August 20:
  6:00 PM: Dock Party at the Mobile Big Game Fishing Clubhouse

• Saturday, August 23:
  8:00 PM: Tournament Awards & After Party

If you’ve never been to a dock party during a Gulf Coast tournament, this is the one to experience. The stories, the celebration, the scale of the catches—it’s a reminder of how vibrant and passionate the offshore community is here.

Why It Matters to Orange Beach

Events like the White Marlin Shootout are more than just sport—they’re a deep part of the lifestyle here. I hear from neighbors, clients, and friends every year who plan their entire summer around this tournament. It’s not just about the fishing; it’s about the tradition, the camaraderie, and the pride of Gulf Coast living.

For those who own waterfront homes or are thinking about investing in Orange Beach real estate, this tournament is a front-row view into what makes our community so special. Boating access, proximity to marinas, and the lifestyle that surrounds events like this are part of what drives value and quality of life here.

Thinking About Your Own Gulf Coast Life?

If you’re visiting for the White Marlin Shootout and find yourself falling in love with the energy of Orange Beach, I’d love to show you what life could look like here year-round. From canal-front homes with deep-water access to new construction close to the marinas, there are opportunities that fit every dream.
