From the docks of Cabo to the canyons of the Outer Banks, the world's finest sportfishing teams demand products that perform under pressure — and represent their vessel with distinction.
The World's Finest Tournaments
Run on BoatMat Mats
Since BoatMat Corporation opened its doors in Fort Lauderdale in 1995, we have been the quiet professional behind some of sportfishing's most celebrated tournaments. Tournament directors trust us because they know what's at stake — sponsors, anglers, cameras, and reputations all converge on the same fighting deck. That deck needs to perform perfectly, look exceptional in every photograph, and last through every day of competition.
From the Bahamas Billfish Championship in our very first year of business to the most prestigious blue-water events in the world today — BoatMat custom marine mats have been part of the story. Not just for one or two events, but for the tournaments that define the sport, season after season.
