Patriot’s Point Naval and Maritime Museum, featuring the USS Yorktown, will be host for the 2026 SFC Carrier Cup and a concert on the flight deck featuring country music star Brian Kelley.
Charleston, South Carolina
May 29 – 31
To honor the United States of America's 250th Anniversary, the SFC is branding this year’s Charleston tournament as the Carrier Cup. The league's Atlantic Division rolls into Charleston and brings the biggest show in fishing to the historic USS Yorktown at Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum home base for a weekend of elite offshore fishing competition and excitement.
Lights Out Boston AC celebrates third place at last year’s Huk Charleston Billfish Cup.
Lights Out Boston heads into the third event of the season in first place in the Atlantic Division. The Charleston, South Carolina, tournament this year has had a substantial event upgrade to celebrate the semiquincentennial of the United States. Events include a concert by country music artist Brian Kelley on the flight deck of the USS Yorktown to honor both active service members and veterans of our country’s armed forces, an on-site watch party and fanfest for the fans of the Atlantic Division teams, and some of the hottest fishing action to close out the first half of the Atlantic Division season.
