The Sailfish 400 is your opportunity to combine your love of race cars and saltwater fishing at a race car-themed fishing tournament! The Sailfish 400 is Leg 2 of the Quest for the Crest Sailfish. Join the fastest boats and the best fishing teams as they speed into Miami January 17-21. Following the sailfish, as they move south in the winter months, teams from the Sailfish 400 will have lines ready for them! Nearly 50 boats competed last year for over $700,000 in prize money. Four top place finishers claimed $237,000 each with nine of the largest releases. Organizers have divided the prizes over multiple categories so more teams and more boats can take home the money. The top eight teams will also qualify for the Grand Prize Drawing of a NASCAR Championship weekend for six persons, courtesy of Homestead Miami Speedway. Bring your team down to take the checkered flag in this fast-paced tournament.
