Key West Offshore World Championship Week 2026

Date: 1 November 2026 – 8 November 2026

Location: Key West Harbor, Key West, United States

Organizer: Race World Offshore

The Key West World Championship is the season finale of the Race World Offshore powerboat circuit and the oldest continuously run event on its calendar. The 45th edition runs 1-8 November 2026 out of Truman Waterfront Park. Racing takes place on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday, with starts at 10:00 each race day, and the course is a big part of the appeal: boats running above 140 mph pass right through Key West Harbor, close to the spectators. The week opens on 1 November with the World's Fastest Boat Parade, when race boats are towed down Duval Street through the crowds. Alongside APBA national and UIM points, this is the only stop on the schedule with its own standalone world championship title. General admission at the Outer Mole is 25 dollars per day, with free entry for children twelve and under and for military personnel with ID. Not sailing, but the biggest week of the year on the Key West waterfront.
