The St. Pete Open

The St. Pete Open The worlds largest spearfishing tournament EST 1965
(1)

The St Pete Underwater Club (SPUC) is a not for profit, private and exclusive Spearfishing organization which invites leaders in the diving and spearfishing community to join them in their mission which was defined in 1954, long before SCUBA diving or spear fishing became organized sports. In fact, Bill Jackson and his original founding members developed the SCUBA certification process in the sta

te of Florida long before PADI, NAUI, or SSI were chartered. The SPUC and its membership still continue to lead and influence the SCUBA Diving, Free Diving, and Spear Fishing community by their own commercial ventures and SPUC events like the St Pete Open, “The World’s Largest Spearfishing Tournament”.

Big news just dropped for the 2026 St. Pete Open!

We are beyond excited to officially announce Costa Custom Boats as the Official Boat Manufacturer Sponsor of the 2026 St. Pete Open!

Built right here in Clearwater, Costa has quickly become one of the most respected names in the custom catamaran and offshore center console world. Known for their smooth ride, stability, fuel efficiency, shallow draft capabilities, and hardcore fishability, these boats are designed for serious offshore anglers and dedicated spearfishermen who demand performance when conditions get rough.

From their game-changing 264HC Hybrid Catamaran to the offshore-ready 32TE, 34SV, and flagship 39TE, Costa Custom Boats continues pushing the standard for custom-built fishing machines. Their catamaran designs are built to handle long runs offshore while delivering the comfort, storage, and deck space that serious divers and fishermen need.

We are proud to partner with a local Florida manufacturer that shares the same passion for the offshore lifestyle, innovation, and the spearfishing community. Huge things are coming for the 2026 St. Pete Open — and this is just the beginning. Stay tuned. 🔥🌊🎣🤿
