Bahamas Shark Fyve
The Bahamas declared its entire EEZ a shark sanctuary in 2011. The Bahamas Shark Fyve will be a release-only, observation-forward challenge built around the islands' exceptional shark populations.
The Bahamas Fyve is being assembled.
We're partnering with local captains, scientists, and conservation authorities to finalize the qualifying species list for Bahamas. Affiliate operators are how we open new regions.
Know the law of the water.
Submissions must comply with current regulations. Shark Fyve verifies against these rules — incomplete or non-compliant entries are rejected.
- R.01
Commercial shark fishing and the sale of shark products is prohibited in The Bahamas.
- R.02
All Shark Fyve entries in this region are release-only.
Always verify current FWC, NOAA HMS, and local authority regulations before fishing. This is summary guidance, not legal advice.
