🌴 2026 SXM Poker Run

Players… ready to ride again?

Salt on your skin. Sun on your face. Music drifting across the water. The Caribbean’s happiest, wildest, most sun‑kissed marine adventure is back — and 2026 is shaping up to be our biggest year yet.

The 2026 SXM Poker Run returns with pure island energy: bright boats, smooth seas, loud laughter, and that unmistakable Sint Maarten vibe that keeps crews coming back year after year. This time, we’re leveling up the experience — more excitement, more entertainment, and more of the laid‑back joy that makes this event a true SXM classic.

Whether you’re captaining an offshore monster, cruising a center console, or flying across the water on a jet ski, this year’s run is all about good people, good water, and good fun. Bring your crew, bring your colors, and bring your best island attitude. Because if your boat isn’t vibing… you’re not doing SXM right.

🌞 Save the Date

Saturday, November 14th, 2026 The island wakes up early — and we run.

Registration is now OPEN, and early sign‑ups come with real advantages. Early registration helps us plan the route, coordinate safety teams, and ensure every stop is ready with cold drinks, warm smiles, and that signature SXM hospitality.

🌊 What’s New for 2026

This year brings fresh Caribbean flavor:

New and returning stops with island‑style entertainment
More on‑water challenges and spot prizes
Upgraded hospitality at every checkpoint
Stronger coordination with marine and safety authorities
A finale celebration that feels like a mini‑Carnival on the water

And of course… Poker. Collect your cards at each stop, build your hand, and see if the sea gods bless you with the winning draw.

⭐ Why Early Registration Matters

Early registration isn’t just a convenience — it’s a huge help to the event team, our partners, and the island’s regulatory agencies.

Early registration helps us:

Plan each stop with accurate capacity numbers
Coordinate clearances and legal logistics with all regulatory officials
Prepare for international attendance and cross‑border vessel movement
Support our sponsors with proper inventory and hospitality planning

The earlier you register, the smoother and stronger the event becomes.

At the heart of the SXM Poker Run lies a dedicated team of volunteers whose passion shines brightly as they work tirelessly to showcase the beauty and vibrancy of Sint Maarten/St Martin, transforming it into a premier boating destination in the Caribbean; with the invaluable support of our generous sponsors, we create unforgettable experiences that unite our community and celebrate our island's unique culture, all while fueling our shared love for the thrill of the run and the joy of giving back.
