West Coast Poker Race has been organized and developed by Ocean Group for the last five years. The idea comes from the US where it is very popular. We have developed a version of it for the West Coast that has become a smashing success.
This combination of poker tournament and boat race event, takes place every year in the end of May. It starts at the River Café where the first cards are dealt to the participants. They then proceed by boat to the next stop at Seaside Björkö. At every stop there are different activities and the participants are getting additional cards.
After a total of five stops, including Marstrand, Salt & Sill on Klädesholmen, it is time for the grand finale at Mollösunds Wärdshus where the participants play their cards and a winner is determined. Each year, Lasse Kronér has been the master of ceremonies and the festivities in the evening plays a part in of what makes this event such a success. The coast guard is invited and participates every year to ensure the high class of the event.
