The d72 marlin sailfish fishing shirt from Odyssey Apparel brings two of offshore fishing’s most prized billfish together in one full-colour sublimated design, built for South African anglers who chase the biggest fights in the ocean.
Manufactured from 100% moisture management polyester fabric: breathable, UV-resistant, and built for long days offshore in the South African sun. The dye sublimation print bonds permanently into the fabric, so the artwork stays vivid and colourfast through salt, sun, and every wash.
Quick-drying and comfortable, this fabric is built to handle a full day trolling for billfish without ever feeling heavy or restrictive.
Available in sizes from Kiddies to Adult 9XL, so the whole crew can gear up for the next offshore trip. Check the size chart before ordering, and reach out via our Custom Designs page if you need help picking the right fit.
Marlin and sailfish are the twin pinnacles of South African billfishing, and this design puts both species together in one shirt for the angler who has chased, or dreams of chasing, both. It joins Odyssey’s other species-specific designs in the Shirt range.
UV-resistant fabric keeps the sun off during long days offshore, and the moisture management weave keeps you comfortable whether you’re trolling the spread or fighting a fish boatside. Delivery nationwide runs through trusted courier partners including DSV, so wherever you’re fishing from in South Africa, this shirt gets to you.
To keep the design looking sharp trip after trip, wash on a cool machine cycle and hang or drip dry rather than tumble drying on high heat. Because the dye sublimation print is bonded into the fibres of the fabric rather than sitting on top of it, it resists cracking, flaking, and fading through sun, sweat, and repeated washing in a way that screen-printed or vinyl-transfer shirts cannot match. Rinse the shirt as soon as you reasonably can after a session on salt or muddy water, and avoid harsh bleach-based detergents that can dull the moisture management finish over time.
Odyssey Apparel’s moisture management fabric is cut for a comfortable, true-to-size fit across the full Kiddies to Adult 9XL size range, so most anglers find their usual size works well for a full day on the boat or the bank. If you are between sizes, our size chart on the product page breaks down chest, length, and sleeve measurements in detail, and our team is happy to help through the Custom Designs page if you are still unsure. A design that fits properly gets worn on every trip, not left in the cupboard.
Every Odyssey Apparel fishing shirt is designed, sublimated, and packed at our own facility in Brits, North West. If you fish in a club or a regular crew and want matching gear, get in touch through our Custom Designs page and we will sort a design and a quote.
