Piscataqua River Poker Run 2026 - Hosted by Great Bay Stewards

Description

Join us in person for an exciting day on the water at the Piscataqua River Poker Run 2026. Whether you’re a seasoned boater or just looking for some fun, this event is all about good vibes, great company, and a little friendly competition. Bring your crew, your lucky poker face, and get ready to cruise the beautiful Piscataqua River. Don’t miss out on the adventure! Here's how it will work: Registration: Boaters sign up and receive maps, event rules, and locations of each “Dealer.” Departure: Boats leave from their starting marina; there is no set departure time or order in which participants must pick up their cards. The "Dealers" will be at each of the five (5) checkpoints from 9:30am - 2:00pm on July 18th. Stops: Each of the five (5) checkpoints will be a marina, gas dock, state dock, or residential dock. Participants collect a card from the “Dealer” at each stop. Boaters will not have to tie up at each stop. “Dealers” will use long pool nets to reach boats at a distance; this eliminates the need for each participant to dock at each location and is also much safer. Final Stop & Party: At the final destination, hands are revealed and prizes awarded for the best hands. ALL TEAMS MUST TURN IN THEIR CARDS BY 4:30PM TO BE CONSIDERED FOR THE GRAND PRICE. ANY LATE SUBMISSIONS WILL BE DISQUALIFIED. Social Aspect: Join Great Bay Stewards for a reception following the on-water events at the Black Rock Social Club at 140 West Road, Portsmouth, NH 03801.
