Emerald Coast Poker Run & Boat Week

Powerboats, fishing boats, pleasure boats, and all in between, will fill the waterways for one of the largest and most popular charity poker runs in the country starting August 7th. Affectionately called “The Big One,” the Emerald Coast Poker Run has been held along the beautiful waters in and around Destin for over 25 years. 

Boat Week events start with a bang Wednesday night, and continue to “The Big One” Poker Run party Saturday night. It is truly a week of excitement, boating, fun, and helping kids.  

All proceeds from Emerald Coast Boat Week and Poker Run go to the recipient children’s charities of the Emerald Coast Foundation and has raised over $2.5 million dollars for our local kids in need.
