PLEASE READ CAREFULLY:

I, both individually and in my capacity as the vessel’s owner and/or operator, on behalf of my team, crew members, and all guests aboard, acknowledge and agree that the Red Snapper Fishing Tournament (OSFT), its parent organization, affiliates, partners, directors, officers, employees, and agents shall not be held liable under any circumstances for any injuries, losses, or damages to persons or property arising from, related to, or connected with participation in the tournament.

This waiver applies regardless of whether such injuries or damages result from negligence, omissions, accidents, or any other cause whatsoever.

In consideration of being permitted to participate in the tournament, I fully release and discharge the tournament organizers and associated entities from any and all claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, costs, or expenses, including legal fees, that may arise from participation by myself, my crew, or any guests aboard.

I further agree, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the tournament and all associated organizations from any claims brought by third parties that result from or relate to my participation, my vessel, or the actions of my crew or guests.

All participants acknowledge that:

• They operate their vessels and participate entirely at their own risk.

• Any weather updates or safety information provided by the tournament are for informational purposes only, and the tournament bears no responsibility for their accuracy or omission. 

• The decision to participate or continue fishing remains solely the responsibility of the vessel’s captain or master.

By registering, I also grant permission for the tournament to use my name, likeness, and that of my crew members in any media, including promotional, advertising, or commercial materials, without compensation.

This agreement is binding upon me, my vessel owner (if different), my crew, guests aboard, and our respective heirs, legal representatives, successors, and assigns.

Participants are strongly advised to maintain adequate insurance coverage for their vessels and passengers.
