Cigarette Rendezvous Poker Run

Cigarette Rendezvous Poker Run

The Cigarette Rendezvous Poker Run is preparing to return for another high-energy day of performance boating, poker hands, and lake-life culture as Cigarette owners and offshore boating enthusiasts gather for one of the season’s most anticipated grassroots powerboating events.

Organizers are promoting the upcoming rendezvous as a full-throttle celebration of Cigarette performance boats, bringing together some of the most recognizable offshore V-bottoms on the water for a day packed with poker stops, waterfront gatherings, music, prizes, and nonstop boating action.

“This isn’t just another lake day… it’s a full-blown rendezvous,” organizers stated in early promotional announcements encouraging participants to “fire up those engines” and prepare for a full day on the water.

The event will feature multiple poker run stops throughout the lake along with prize opportunities, sponsor gatherings, dockside parties, and organized cruising as participating Cigarette boats and crews travel between waterfront locations collecting cards and enjoying the weekend atmosphere.

In addition to the poker run itself, organizers are promising:

  • Live music
  • Sponsor showcases
  • Waterfront social gatherings
  • Poker hand prizes
  • Performance boating displays
  • Dockside parties and marina events

The Cigarette Rendezvous continues drawing strong support from marine industry sponsors and performance boating companies, including:

  • CTS Custom Trailers
  • DockWorks
  • Poly Lift Boat Lifts
  • Bio-Kleen Products
  • WIA Marine Insurance
  • Patriots Bank

The event is expected to attract Cigarette Racing Team boats from multiple generations alongside additional offshore performance boats, center consoles, and recreational powerboats from across the regional boating community.

While the official 2026 event location and complete poker run schedule are still being finalized publicly, organizers continue encouraging participants to “save the date” as anticipation builds for another large turnout of high-performance boats and lake enthusiasts.

The Cigarette Rendezvous Poker Run has increasingly become known less as a traditional competitive poker run and more as a large-scale gathering celebrating offshore boating culture, Cigarette heritage, and high-performance lake lifestyles.
