Lake of the Ozarks Shootout 2023

Take Part in the Full Shootout Experience

Visit Lake of the Ozarks, MO for this year's event

The Lake of the Ozarks Shootout is the largest unsanctioned boat race in the US, and maybe the world, and was named one of the nation's eight "must-see" boating events according to Powerboat Magazine. Our event raises funds for a range of local charitable organizations. Last year, we donated $625,000 to 32 different Charities and 8 Fire Departments.

In 2008, the Shootout moved to Captain Ron's Bar & Grill in Sunrise Beach, MO on the 34.5 mile marker.
