World-Class Racing. The Boating Lifestyle. Worldwide Reach.
The Formula One Powerboat Championship is charging into 2027 with a schedule showcasing world-class racing and waterfront entertainment directly to race fans and communities across the country at major summer weekend festivals.
Combining explosive acceleration, razor-sharp turns and close competition. Formula One Powerboat events have evolved into marquee waterfront festivals that combine high-speed racing with family entertainment, tourism, hospitality, sponsor activations and community activities. The result is an event platform that is about far more than what happens between the starting flag and the checkered flag. It celebrates the people, products and experiences that make being on the water a lifestyle.
“Formula One Powerboat racing represents the speed, excitement and freedom of life on the water and we are very proud to bring it to our hosting communities,” said Tim Seebold the series managing director.
