Welcome to Sportsman's Tournament Adventures
It's some of the most competitive fishing ever done. Testing the skills of
anglers and Sportsman alike in some of the most extreme conditions with thousands
of dollars on the line with each sailfish. It's the world of tournament fishing
and over the next 13 weeks our team aboard the Miss Costa will experience the
high's and low's of a tournament season. Welcome to Sportsman's Tournament Adventures.

As part of the New an Upcoming Sportsman’s Tournament Adventures Series,
Viking Yachts, HMY and Costa Del Mar Launches Team Costa to Compete in Offshore
Tournament Season.
Veteran Captains Ray Rosher and Rick Murphy Team Together in 12 Tournaments.
Hopes are high for champion offshore Captain Ray Rosher and top inshore Captain
Rick Murphy.

Team Costa will compete aboard a new HMY-Viking 54 convertible yacht, ‘Miss
Costa’. The team will compete in offshore tournaments, such as the Libertad,
Dewar’s Cup Series, the Miami Billfish Tournament and the World Sailfish
Tournament in Key West.

"On paper, you couldn't build a better competitive offshore fishing team
than we have with Team Costa," said Rick Murphy, who, with 120 tournament
wins to his name, is one of the top inshore anglers in the world. "Even though
I'm known as an inshore guy, what a lot of people don't know is that I've caught
121 sailfish on fly. And Ray has won approximately 30 offshore tournaments and
titles over his 30 year career. With the backing of great sponsors, we think we're
going to have a great team on the ocean this season."

"Both Rick Murphy and Ray Rosher have been Costa's friends for some time,
so we're excited to partner with them on Team Costa," said Chas MacDonald,
president of Costa Del Mar. "They've got a top notch crew in place and a
new Viking yacht from HMY, and we're looking forward to a great offshore tournament
season with them."
"I think it's going to be an interesting year with Team Costa," said
Ray Rosher. "I'm excited to fish alongside one of the best crews, including
Alex Castellanas, Rob Ramirez and Charmain Rosher, and help promote the sport
fishing industry."
