Kata Rocks is bringing
the famous American Poker Run to Phuket
The 6th Annual Kata Rocks Poker Run
Thursday, 11 December 2025
Gear up for the ultimate adrenaline-fuelled day on the water as the Kata Rocks Poker Run (KRPR) returns for its 6th unforgettable edition – a bold fusion of nautical adventure, friendly competition, and luxury lifestyle, all set against the breathtaking backdrop of Phuket.
Inspired by the iconic American poker run and infused with a “Miami Vice-meets-Phuket” vibe, this exclusive boat rally sees participants circumnavigate the entire island of Phuket, collecting a playing card at each designated stop along the route. The boat with the best poker hand at the finish line wins – but the real prize is the journey itself.
Expect turquoise waters, epic coastal scenery, and an unbeatable atmosphere as a flotilla of speedboats cruise together in celebration of high-energy fun. With surprise challenges, playful antics, and plenty of on-water camaraderie built in along the way.
And while the KRPR is not a race, let’s just say some boats tend to cruise a little faster than others… A special shout-out and the all important bragging rights awaits the fastest time logged around the island – strictly for fun of course!
The day wraps up at Kata Rocks with a partner sunset BBQ in our iconic oceanfront clubhouse featuring ice-cold beers, delicious bites, a live DJ, and unbeatable post-run energy. It’s the perfect setting to cool off, grab a plate, jump in the pool, and relive the highlights of the day with your crew.
We’ll crown the boat with the best poker hand, celebrate the day’s winners, hand out prizes and of course toast to those all-important bragging rights! Stick around, enjoy the good vibes, and keep the celebration going – the bar stays open, the music keeps playing, and the memories just keep getting better.
And don’t forget – KRPR guests receive an exclusive invitation to the legendary KRSR closing party on 13 December – the most glamorous night of the superyacht season.
Speed, style, and serious fun. This is KRPR.
