The Anguilla Poker Run is one of the Caribbean’s largest powerboating events and a highlight of the annual Anguilla Summer Festival. Centered around Sandy Ground, the event attracts up to 100 boats and participants from across the northeastern Caribbean, including St. Maarten, the British Virgin Islands, St. Kitts and Nevis, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
What began as a friendly boating challenge among friends has grown into a full-scale marine festival featuring an island-hopping poker run, beach parties, live entertainment, and friendly competition. Participants collect playing cards at designated stops before returning to Sandy Ground for the final card draw, cash prizes, and a lively waterfront celebration.
With its mix of high-performance boats, island hospitality, and festival atmosphere, the Anguilla Poker Run has become a must-attend summer event for powerboaters throughout the Caribbean.
