Big Game Rimini 2026

The 23rd Città di Rimini Trophy is one of the most eagerly awaited events for enthusiasts of offshore sport fishing on the Adriatic scene. Organized by the prestigious Rimini Yacht Club, the event celebrates the tradition of Big Game Drifting fishing, a technique that requires experience, patience, and a deep respect for the sea.

The event stands out for its ethical and sustainable approach, adopting the Catch & Release format, which allows anglers to compete with their catches without compromising their survival. This method allows fish to be caught, weighed, and photographed before being immediately released back into the sea, thereby ensuring the conservation of fish species and the protection of the marine ecosystem.

The trophy is dedicated to the memory of Roberto Sancisi, a prominent figure in the world of sport fishing in Rimini, whose memory is honored through this Memorial, bringing together competition and a passion for the sea. Participants have the opportunity to test their skills against some of the most prized species of the Adriatic, including tuna, amberjack, and other large pelagic fish, in a setting that emphasizes sportsmanship and fair play.

The event also represents an important opportunity for community gathering among the local seafaring community and enthusiasts from all across Italy. With its long-standing experience in organizing sailing and sport fishing events, the Rimini Yacht Club ensures flawless management of the competition, providing participants with high-quality services and an atmosphere of genuine camaraderie.

The 23rd Città di Rimini Big Game Trophy thus reaffirms the deep bond between Rimini and the sea, highlighting a sporting tradition that combines heritage, environmental respect, and a competitive spirit.
