JETSET 2026

JETSET 2026 takes place June 17–20, 2026, in Panama City, Florida, bringing jet boat owners from around the country together for a multi-day gathering on Florida’s Emerald Coast. Hosted by JetBoatPilot.com, JETSET is billed as the World’s Largest Jetboat Gathering and is built as a jet-boater-exclusive event focused on group runs, raft-ups, family time, and exploring the waters around Panama City.

Founded in 2021, JETSET has grown into a major annual event for the jet boat community. For 2026, organizers expect more than 100 boats during the on-water portions of the event. The schedule includes a captain’s meeting, intracoastal runs, raft-ups, evening gatherings, meals, and a poker run punch.

The event begins Wednesday, June 17, with a Captain’s Meeting at the Atlantis Center in Lynn Haven at 5:00 PM CST, with dinner provided. On Thursday, June 18, participants head to Cape San Blas for a raft-up and intracoastal run. That evening includes dining, drinks, s’mores, and a Poker Run Punch from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM while participants explore downtown Panama City.

Friday, June 19, features a run to Crab Island for another raft-up and intracoastal run, with attendees able to bring lunch or purchase food at Crab Island. Saturday, June 20, wraps up the on-water portion with a raft-up at Shell Island, where lunch is provided. The event closes Saturday evening with a Send-Off Luau at Harrison’s at 6:00 PM CST, with dinner provided.

Registration includes admission to all events, three complimentary meals, and one sponsor swag bag for each boat captain. Cost is $200 for attendees ages 13 and older, $100 for ages 6–12, and free for children ages 0–5. The registration deadline is April 30, 2026, due to the size of the event and the planning needed for shirts and other branded items.

Organizers note that the event is designed to stay mostly inside the bays and intracoastal waterways, which helps keep the group runs more manageable for a wide range of jet boats. JETSET is also promoted as a family-friendly event, with an emphasis on safety, group boating, and creating memories on the water.
