Welcome to the 2025 OBBC!
The Oak Bluffs Bluewater Classic is held in Falmouth, Massachusetts on Cape Cod. The OBBC continues to raise funds for a variety of local charities, which include the Island Autism Group, the MV Boys & Girls Club, the MV Food Pantry, and the MGH Colon Cancer Research Fund. In 2024 the OBBC donated $19,000.00 to the MGH Colon Cancer Research Fund in memory of Kevin Glynn.
WHAT'S NEW!
For starters, the OBBC will be adding a fish day to the 2025 schedule! Now there will be 5 fishing days to choose from instead of 4. Also boats will be permitted to leave the dock at 8 PM instead of midnight. So vessels fishing on Wed/Thurs for instance, will be able to depart on Tuesday night at 8 PM. Tournament registration will be on Sunday July 13th, and the awards ceremony will be on Friday July 18th. (not Saturday) Boats will have the opportunity to choose any 2 fishing days (Monday through Friday).
The OBBC will again be offering a small boat division. (38 feet and under) There will be separate calcutta entries for this small boat division as well as 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place small boat division tournament trophies/prizes. 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 still be able to compete in all of the OBBC added entry divisions. OBBC registered vessels will be required to declare their chosen division on registration day, Tuesday July 13th.
For outside of New England participants only, the OBBC is making it easy to register. We can Fed Ex 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 mail, providing a check is received by July 3rd.
