The roar of engines returns to Sheboygan’s lakefront as the P1 Offshore Triple Crown powers into town August 8–10, 2025. The city will host the second leg of the international Monster Energy series, featuring offshore powerboat racing and jet ski action that transforms Lake Michigan into a high-speed arena.

This summer’s event will bring together some of the world’s most elite marine motorsports athletes competing across multiple classes—including the top-tier Class 1 division, where speeds exceed 160 mph.

Defending Champion Billy Moore Returns

In 2024, Billy Moore and teammate Mike Falco took Sheboygan by storm, earning their first-ever Class 1 victory in a dominating run around the South Pier course. The win was a milestone for Moore, whose racing legacy runs deep as the son of offshore legend Bobby Moore.

Additionally, the event supports nonprofit programs in marine conservation, youth outreach, and water safety, thanks to the work of the P1 Marine Foundation.
