Here are some frequently asked questions: What is a powerboat poker run? The Poker Run is open to all boats capable of navigating inner Casco Bay and Portland Harbor (see the attached course chart.) It is NOT a race. At your own speed, you simply travel to six marinas around Portland Harbor and Casco Bay where you pick up a numbered tag. You don t have to dock; simply approach the card stop and your tag will be passed to you on the end of a long pole. Each card has a special theme with costumes and fun give-aways. Back at the party at DiMillo s Marina, you ll turn in your card stop tags for a seven-card poker hand, enjoy a barbeque, cash bar, great raffle items, and music. The highest poker hands win valuable prizes! What if I don t want to bring my boat?
