One of the premier king mackerel tournaments on the East Coast, the Swansboro Rotary Five-0 King Mackerel Tournament draws anglers from across the Southeast for a week of offshore competition and coastal camaraderie. Hosted by the Swansboro Rotary Club, the event features a lively Captains' Party, daily fishing, exciting weigh-ins, and more than $180,000 in cash prizes. Even if you're not competing, it's a great time to visit historic Swansboro—watch tournament boats return to the docks, cheer on anglers at the weigh-ins, enjoy local restaurants and shops, and experience one of the Crystal Coast's favorite fall traditions. Proceeds from the tournament support charitable projects throughout the local community.
