To All APBA Offshore Members,
We are excited to announce that the New Orleans Powerboat Grand Prix, taking place June 27–29, 2025, will serve as Round 2 of 3 in the APBA Offshore World Championship as well as Round 2 of 5 in the APBA Offshore National Championship Series.
This event also launches the inaugural Monster Energy Triple Crown, a new format designed to elevate offshore racing to the next level. With one of the largest prize purses of the season, it sets the tone for strong competition and increased visibility.
“We’re proud to bring a race of this caliber to New Orleans,” said Thomas Covington of Powerboat P1. “From national and world championship points on the line, to the Kilo and Fun Run, to live national TV coverage and behind-the-scenes content, this will be more than just a race - it’s a full celebration of the sport.”
