Orange Beach, Ala. Start Your Engines!

The 6th Annual Orange Beach Powerboat Week is returning to Alabama’s Gulf Coast.
This three-day event brings fast boats, excitement, fun, and much more each year!

This year’s event runs May 8 through May 11.

The action begins Thursday night at The Wharf in Orange Beach with a welcome party and the Miss Powerboat Week Contest at the Sand Shaker Club.

Beginning on Friday, powerboats will make a fun run to Pensacola and Navarre before returning to Orange Beach. The day ends with a cocktail happy hour at Marker 158.

Saturday’s main event is the poker run. Participants collect cards at three different stops with a lunch break on Mobile Bay. The day wraps up with an open-bar awards party at Dick’s Last Resort.

The Wharf will serve as the main hub for the event. It offers a floating dock marina, free truck and trailer parking, hotel lodging, and many dining options.
