EPIC VIRGINIA BLACK BOATER'S WEEKEND - Portsmouth VA

Epic Black Boater’s Weekend – Portsmouth, VA

We set sail for an unforgettable celebration of culture, community, and coastal vibes at the Epic Black Boater’s Weekend in beautiful Portsmouth, Virginia! This vibrant waterfront event brought together Black boaters, adventurers, and travelers from across the state for a powerful weekend of unity, relaxation, and unforgettable memories.

Against the backdrop of the Elizabeth River, our boats and jet skis lined the river in proud formation—music pumping, grills sizzling, flags waving, and spirits high. From sunrise cruises to sunset kickbacks, the energy never dipped. We danced on the decks, toasted to our success, and shared stories that stretched from the Chesapeake to the Caribbean.

Portsmouth showed up and showed out—with Black-owned vendors, delicious food, and a city that welcomed us with open arms. Whether you were pulling up in a yacht or kicking back on the dock, this weekend was about us: our joy, our excellence, and our legacy on the water.

More than a boating trip, this was a movement. An annual reminder that we belong in every space—including the open sea.
