The Maldives has once again thrown open its turquoise waters to some of the world’s best anglers, as the BurunuBoma International Sportsfishing Tournament 2025 officially gets underway. From May 2nd to 4th, the islands are buzzing with energy as teams go head-to-head in one of the most scenic and exciting fishing tournaments on the global calendar.
Nine international teams launched yesterday from across the region and wasted no time getting to work. With lines in the water from as early as 5:00 AM, and fishing wrapping up each day at 18:30, it’s long hours, sharp focus, and pure adrenaline from start to finish.
And it’s already delivering. Early footage from the teams shows impressive catches-sailfish among them-highlighting just how rich and rewarding these waters can be. But beyond the fish, what really stands out is the atmosphere: the buzz of competition, the camaraderie between teams, and the sheer beauty of the Maldives as a backdrop.
Fishing spots have been carefully chosen across the islands, offering a range of conditions and challenges that push even seasoned anglers to bring their best. Every team is here to win-but they’re also here because they love the sport, the ocean, and the rare opportunity to fish in one of the most vibrant marine environments on the planet.
As Ahmed Saaif, President of Visit Maldives Club, put it: “The spirit of BurunuBoma lies in the people it brings together, the thrill of the chase, and the unique challenges of these waters.” And with strong catches reported right from day one, the competition is already shaping up to be something special.
BurunuBoma isn’t just about fishing-it’s about the experience. It’s about being out on the open sea, surrounded by natural beauty, chasing something just out of reach. And for those lucky enough to be part of it-or even just to watch it unfold-it’s a reminder of why the Maldives continues to draw adventurers and ocean lovers from around the world.
