FPC Emerald Coast Powerboat Week

Since the late 1990s, the Florida Powerboat Club has been organizing an annual pilgrimage to the Florida Panhandle for the Emerald Coast Poker Run. Drawing participants from Texas to Virginia, the Emerald Coast is renowned for its sugary sand beaches and extensive protected waterways suitable for boats of all sizes. In recent years, Destin has become a focal point with its upscale waterfront resorts, such as the Emerald Grande, and the Legendary Marina serving as the poker run staging area.
