Welcome to the 2026 OBBC!
The Oak Bluffs Bluewater Classic is held in Falmouth, Massachusetts, but allows boats to fish from any port in the northeast! The OBBC continues to raise funds for a variety of local charities. Last year the tournament presented a $16,000 dollar check to the Dion Foundation.
WHAT'S NEW!
For starters, the OBBC will be adding a 6th day of fishing to the 2026 schedule! Boats will also be permitted to leave the dock whenever they choose!
All tournament teams will be permitted to fish a 42 hour window, providing it occurs during the allotted fish days.
Tournament registration will be on Saturday, July 11th, and the awards ceremony will be held on Friday, July 17th. This will help eliminate weather challenges and schedule conflicts for everyone.
The OBBC will again be offering an Increased Small Boat Division. (42 feet and under) This is an optional division. There will be separate calcuttas, trophies, and prizes for this small boat division. Small boat division teams will still have the option to compete in the OBBC main division if they so choose. They cannot fish both divisions. Small boat division teams will also be able to compete in all of the OBBC added entry divisions.
We've added more NON-SONAR Calcuttas. $2,000 Tuna Jackpot, $1,000 Most Points, $1,000 Most Billfish Points, and $1,000 Heaviest Tuna (excluding bluefin). These will be in addition to existing tournament added entry divisions.
For outside of New England participants only, the OBBC is making it easy to register. We can FedEx you your packet and captains bag if you register by July 1st. The captains meeting will be broadcasted on the Oak Bluffs Bluewater Classic Facebook page. Calcuttas can be done via wire transfer. Please call Damon Sacco at 508-221-5136. This remote registration will not be available for Massachusetts, RI, and CT boats. (NY & NJ only)

TOURNAMENT REGISTRATION: The OBBC Kick Off Party/Captains Meeting will be held on Saturday July 11th from 2 pm - 8 pm (MacDougall's greens on Falmouth harbor). There will be a registration/calcutta check-in table inside the marina hospitality building adjacent to the tent. Complimentary raw bar, open bar, gourmet appetizers, and live music will be available for all participants and sponsors. Captain's meeting will start promptly at 6:30 pm.

Boats can fish from any port! The OBBC encompasses an overnight adventure, allowing entrants to fish two straight days before returning to the dock. Both weigh stations will be open to the public. Come help us celebrate the Cape Cod lifestyle!
