And at least for the Pompano, Fla.-based poker run organizer and his crew, which just two weeks ago produced a 214-boat run to Key West, Fla., that result—in an activity with undeniable inherent risks—was not an accident. With what could be the its largest fleet ever, the 2018 Florida Powerboat Club Poker Run Key West saw no reported incidents. I chased the Florida Powerboat Club from Miami to Key West during their annual Key West Poker Run. I started in Miami at Haulover Inlet and raced them all th.

Fuel at Gilberts in Key Largo, Faro Blanco in Marathon, or anyplace you want most of the boats use these spots. They have a truck with race fuel for boats that need that staged. The night before there is a mandatory Capt. meeting that you have to attend they go over all of the info you need. Stu who runs it gives out a bag and a folder with info on anything you could need. There are 3 classes of boats, you sign up for one. Sport 45 to 65MPH. Performance 65MPH to 85 i think, Then the high performance class. There are green yellow and red stickers to tell what class you are in. we are in the sport. Cost, get boat down to Miami, charge to put it in water, trailer storage, fuel for 320 miles round trip. Hotel in Miami the night before. dinner that night. Breakfast is given to you the morning that you are leaving. lunch is included in your admission fee. you will get that at Gilberts, Faro Blanco, or he will give you a credit if you eat somewhere along the way give him back the ticket. Islamarada fish company or something like that. you need the marina fees from Thursday to Monday at Key west. You need the hotel for the same nights at Key west. They give a club discount at places. If you join the FPC they will explain all this. you need food and drink for the days you are there. It is a great time and you meet very fun people. Go and have fun be yourself.
You could do the run down have someone drive your trailer down and get your boat out and go home and save a bunch. You will want to stay and have fun with all the new people you meet.
@Liveto99 ..... It was our first time and an absolute blast. I met Stu, and in fact, he contacted me asking if I'd let him use my drone footage from the raft up. For some reason their photographer couldn't fly his drone. I know the trip as spectators (crew) cost us a total of about 4k. That's plane tickets, hotel in Miami, three nights in Key West and all our food and drinks. I couldn't imagine what the total would be for those actually running and trailering boats from across the country.

updated: Key West Offshore Poker Run 2019

One of the biggest Poker Runs of the year is happening this weekend Nov. 6-11, 2019. The Key West Offshore Poker Run is an almost 400-mile roundtrip poker run from Miami to Key West. This year the event has over 200 poker run teams from all around the world that are participating. The Florida Powerboat Club was founded in 1993 as a membership-driven organization, to promote safe, responsible powerboating for boating enthusiasts around the area! This will be the FPC’s 27th Annual Key West Offshore Poker Run and a run you will not want to miss! There will be checkpoints in Key Largo, Islamorada, Marathon, and Bahia Honda. This four-day event will have entertainment every evening and great dining at the Conch Republic Seafood Company. There will also be a captain’s meeting at each venue (north and south) the night before the event starts. We are your East Coast Nor-Tech dealer keep an eye out for our team out on the water representing Nor-Tech!

HOW poker runs WORK.

Poker Runs start by each boat participating in navigating (speeding 75+mph) through a watercourse, stopping at five checkpoints along the way to pick up an envelope that has a single playing card enclosed. At the final checkpoint, the envelopes are opened and the boat with the best poker hand is prized the winner! You could say that winning is purely by chance!

Poker runs usually require a fee to participate, however, some of them are funded by sponsors and are completely free to register. Prizes, such as money, trophies, etc. are donated by the sponsors of the event and are given to the crew that has the best poker hand. Poker run coordinators try and make the runs as scenic and appealing as possible between each check points.
