Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica (PRWEB) April 23, 2014 -- The 15th Annual Offshore World Championship (OWC) was held for the second time at Marina Pez Vela in Costa Rica from April 6-11, 2014, proving again that Costa Rica is one of the world’s top destinations for sports fishing with a grand total of 2,735 billfish releases in a four day period.

Sixty-seven teams from 24 different countries competed in the Offshore World Championship this year. The winning team from Angola earned first place with 76 sailfish releases and two dorado for a grand total of 15,263.6 points. The second place team from Brazil scored a total of 13,400 points with 67 sailfish releases.

The annual tournament brings together skilled fisherman from all over the world to beautiful Costa Rica, as well as the members of the local Manuel Antonio community who work together to host the international event. Many of the area’s restaurants, hotels and transportation companies play a part in making the experience the success that it has proven to be.

At the end of a long day, they want a comfortable, luxurious place to head back to that allows them to enjoy the best of what Costa Rica has to offer,” says Dave Houck, spokesperson for Tulemar, the area's #1 ranked resort on TripAdvisor. “We are already looking forward to next year’s event and the return of fishermen and guests from all over the world.
