The Florida Powerboat Club’s 34th Annual Key West Poker Run Village is set to roar back into action this November 6–10, 2025, promising another unforgettable week of adrenaline, sun, and sea. As hundreds of the world’s most spectacular high-performance speed boats converge on the Florida Keys, fans and participants alike can look forward to a one-of-a-kind celebration of speed, style, and tropical excitement.

Hosted in the heart of Key West, the Poker Run Village has become a hallmark event in Florida’s boating calendar, where performance meets paradise and the boating community comes together for one incredible week on the water.

High-Octane Fun Returns to the Keys This November

This year’s event will once again transform Truman Waterfront Park into a dazzling hub of marine performance and luxury lifestyle displays. The Powerboat Village opens daily to the public, featuring:

• Dozens of High-Performance Powerboats on display, from leading manufacturers like Formula Boats, Mystic Powerboats, Boat Center, and Fountain.
• Vendor and Sponsor Exhibits showcasing marine technology, accessories, and lifestyle brands.
• Live Music, Food, and Drinks that capture the energy of Key West’s waterfront.

The Legendary Key West Poker Run

At the heart of the event is the Florida Powerboat Club’s Key West Poker Run, a thrilling, multi-day run down the Florida Keys that starts in Miami and finishes in Key West. Participants collect playing cards at five designated stops along the route, combining high-speed boating with friendly competition... and at least a bit of luck.

The winner with the best poker hand takes home prizes and bragging rights, but in truth, every participant wins just by being part of this iconic experience. With over 200 registered powerboats and an impressive fleet of support and safety teams, it’s the largest organized performance boating event in the country.

Key West’s Ultimate Boating Festival

Beyond the Poker Run itself, the week offers endless entertainment for participants and visitors alike:

• The Poker Run Village Boat Show at Truman Waterfront Park (Thursday–Saturday).
• FPC Parade of Powerboats down Duval Street — an unforgettable sight and sound experience.
• Photo Shoots and Helicopter Coverage capturing the sleekest boats on the planet cutting through turquoise water.
• Charity Auctions and Raffles, supporting local and marine-based causes.
• The Awards Party & Sunday Wind Down, capping off the week with cocktails, music, and memories.

Whether you’re an experienced boater or simply love the energy of the Florida Keys, the 2025 event promises non-stop excitement, networking, and high-performance thrills.
