Welcome to the 2009 Clearwater Super Boat National Championships & Festival

Oct. 4th, 2009 - The Gieco team wins the race!

And the "shootout" with Aquamania continues for the World Championships in Key West! See Highlights of this weekends events.

Race day saw thousands on the beach and hundred of boats showed up to watch

some of the fastest boats in the world battle it out! All of the teams were appreciative of Clearwater and the reception they received from the people who live here. They love the city, they love the beach and they want to come back next year!

Our Sponsors brought us some of the fastest and largest offshore power boats in the world to Clearwater Beach this weekend! Beachgoers had a great time viewing the race and hundred of boaters watched from behind the spectator line.

It was a great day in Clearwater beach to watch these wildly fast boats!

Miss Geico won the hugely anticipated turbine match race. The big Turbine shootout produced two winners. Miss Geico dominated the race with Aqua Mania, turning speeds of 145 mph on the 2.5-mile straights.

Thanks to former Mayor Brian Aungst, along with Frank Chivas, Clearwater Mayor Frank Hibbard and the Clearwater Regional Chamber of Commerce for organizing a fantastic weekend!

SBI’s National Championships will return to Clearwater on October 1st-3rd, 2010.
