Key West World Championship

The course runs a lap of just over four miles that cuts through Key West Harbor, mixing calmer inshore water with rougher open stretches, and boats top 140 mph on the fastest legs. Race Week opens with the First State Bank World’s Fastest  Boat Parade down Duval Street on Sunday, November 1, before racing itself runs across three days: Wednesday, November 4 (a “bonus day” run separately from the National Championship), Friday, November 6, and Sunday, November 8, the finale.
