The Essential Role of Sponsors in The Two Oceans Marlin Tournament

For two decades, the Two Oceans Marlin Tournament has stood as one of Struisbaai’s most cherished annual events. What began as a small, passionate initiative has grown into a milestone tournament that brings together anglers from across South Africa. And it is the sponsors that are the power behind its long-running success.

Year after year, these incredible businesses have fuelled the heart of the tournament. Many have stood with us since the very beginning, believing in what the tournament represents—community, integrity, sportsmanship, and the preservation of big‑game angling in the Agulhas waters. Their loyalty is not just appreciated; it is foundational to the event’s sustainability and spirit.

Grant Creighton from Airmar – a loyal sponsor at one of our functions,

A competition of this scale simply cannot happen without sponsors. Their contributions support everything from logistics, safety, and infrastructure to prizes, hospitality, and the overall experience that anglers look forward to every February/March.   Today, we proudly acknowledge and thank the businesses who have walked this 20‑year journey with us—some since the very first marlin was measured and released.

To every sponsor listed here: thank you. Your belief in this tournament, your steady support, and your contribution to Struisbaai’s angling community have helped shape twenty years of unforgettable moments on and off the water. Apologies if I have left any sponsor out. You are all truly appreciated.
