Race World Offshore Offshore Power Boat World Championship Races -

Annually, the World’s best high-performance race teams travel to Key West, FL, the #1 destination around the globe for the World Championship Offshore Power Boat Racing event.

Hand-crafted High-Performance Catamarans and Vee Bottom Race Boats with engine packages up to 3,000 hp take to the world stage with Race World Offshore.

Race World Offshore is the sanctioning body for world’s best offshore boats. The level of inspections is designed to bring a true competitive class to every race. Sportsmanship in the pits, on the course and on the podium sets them apart. Proud to be a part of this growing community.

Offshore powerboat racing is, for all intents and purposes, the aquatic version of off-road automobile racing. There are similarities, such as man and machine versus a demanding environment, and the demands on both simply to survive any given contest. Yet there’s also a key difference: In off-road racing, the course changes from mile to mile or segment to segment. In offshore powerboat racing, the course changes from moment to moment - swell, wind, tide, current, and more make the offshore racecourse perhaps the most dynamic environment in all of motorsports. In an instant, the track can go from docile to hostile.

For the best in domestic offshore racing action, the Super Boat International World Championships in Key West, Fla are the place to be. The event usually features a three-race - Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday format. What happens during the regular season, even taking a National Championship, means nothing in Key West. Points accumulated during the three races for podium finishes (first, second, and third places), laps completed, and lap times determine the winners in each class.

The RWO Offshore World Championship racecourse is a clockwise course with a total distance of approximately 4.48 miles. The start finish line is in front of the outer mole area and race teams will mill to the north of turn 3 in preparation for race starts. See the Racecourse Maps in the photos.

Viewing areas for spectators in Key West are almost unlimited. What’s more, most waterfront establishments (as well as those off the water) in Key West carry Super Boat International’s Livestream from each race, so spectators also can catch the action on television - with play-by-play and color commentary - as the boats roar by them on each lap.
