A new luxury yachting experience arrives in Cyprus

Limassol Marina is pleased to share the launch of Poker Run Cyprus 2026, an exciting new luxury boating and lifestyle event organised by the Cyprus Yacht Owners Club.

Inspired by the internationally legendary Poker Run events originating from Miami, Florida from the 1950’s till today, Poker Run Cyprus is set to become one of the Mediterranean’s most anticipated yachting lifestyle experiences, bringing together yacht owners, boating enthusiasts, luxury brands, business leaders, and members of the marine industry for an unforgettable 2-day journey around the Cyprus coastline.

A 3-day experience | 29–31 May 2026

The event will feature a specially designed sea route connecting some of Cyprus’ most iconic coastal destinations, including:

•    Limassol Marina 

•    Larnaca Marina 

•    Ayia Napa Marina 

•    Cape Greco 

•    Limassol 

The route has been specially designed by Captain Kleanthis Hadjisoteriou of Limassol Marina, an experienced maritime professional and respected figure within the Cyprus yachting community.  A mandatory Captains Briefing will take place on Friday, 29 May 2026 at 16:00 at the Conference Room of Limassol Marina, led by Kleanthis Hadjisoteriou, where participants will be guided through the official route, safety procedures, communication protocols, weather considerations, and operational arrangements for the event. Further details and participant guidance will be circulated directly by the organisers prior to the event.

The experience officially begins on Friday, 29 May 2026, with an Opening Sunset Cocktail Event at Marina Breeze, Limassol Marina, welcoming participants, sponsors, officials, and distinguished guests. The organisers are particularly honoured to welcome Minister of Health, Neophytos Charalambides, at the Opening Ceremony.

On Saturday morning, 30 May, the fleet will depart from Limassol Marina and cruise along the Cyprus coastline through Larnaca Marina before arriving at Ayia Napa Marina for an overnight luxury celebration featuring live entertainment, DJs, lifestyle fashion experiences, dining, and networking events.

The entire event will be covered live by Sigma TV and hosted throughout the three-day experience by Marios Priamos Ioannides, one of Cyprus’ most-known television personalities and lifestyle presenters, adding a vibrant media and entertainment dimension to the event.

The journey continues on Sunday towards Cape Greco and then through the south-eastern coastline through Zygi, before returning to Limassol for the highly anticipated Closing Fiesta at Columbia Sun (Lady’s Mile), where participating yachts will line up offshore for a spectacular finale celebration with live performances, awards, entertainment, and sunset party vibes featuring signature DJs from Rock n’ Roll Athens (from 18:00 to 22:00).

Poker Run Cyprus aims to further position Cyprus as an emerging destination for luxury yachting tourism while creating a unique platform connecting the marine industry, hospitality sector, luxury brands, tourism professionals, and international boating enthusiasts.  

“We are creating far more than a boating event. Poker Run Cyprus is a lifestyle experience built around the passion for the sea, adventure, luxury, and community” state the organisers.
