Location: Key West HarborStyle: Summer mahi classic
One week later, the Key West Gator Club Dolphin Derby brings a hometown twist to mahi competition. Known for strong payouts and an unbeatable island atmosphere, this derby funds Key West High School scholarships, so every fish weighed helps local students. The competition is fierce—teams run to the Marathon Hump, the Wall, and beyond—but the dock party feels like a neighborhood block party.
What Makes It Iconic:The combination of serious prize money and pure Keys community spirit creates an atmosphere you won’t find anywhere else.
Join the Run:Anglers wanting to capitalize on the summer run should connect with Key West fishing charters for practice trips that mirror derby conditions.
