Big Thunder Marine Launching ‘Cigarette Saturdays,’ ‘Fountain Fridays’ And More In 2025

With multiple location at the Lake of the Ozarks in Central Missouri, Big Thunder Marine has long-produced its own annual events such as the Baja, Fountain And Donzi Fun and the Support Our Troops Poker Run. In 2024, the multi-brand dealership produced its first Cigarette Owners Rendezvous. The event attracted 90 to 100 boats and earned raves from participants.

The event will return June 12-15. It will be based out of the dealership’s Speed and Luxury Showroom in Lake Ozark and the nearby Camden On The Lake Resort.
Building on that momentum, Big Thunder Marine—as the exclusive Cigarette dealer at the lake since 2022—also is launching “Cigarette Saturdays,” a monthly series of casual fun runs/gatherings for owners of sportboats and center consoles from the Opa-Locka, Fla., company. Starting in May, the Cigarette events will be held on the last Saturday of each month.
Dates for the 2025 Cigarette Saturday series are May 31, June 28, July 26 and August 30. Destinations, start times and other details will be announced in the near future.
On a similar note, Big Thunder Marine is launching “Fountain Fridays” on the last Friday of each month this spring. Dates are May 30, June 27, July 25 and August 29.

Fountain owners will have events of their own on the last Friday of each month.
Based out of the Camden on the Lake Resort, the Baja, Fountain and Donzi Fun Run returns July 18. The Support Our Troops Poker Run to Dog Days restaurant comes back on July 20.
A new Big Thunder Marine event, the Thunder On The Lake Fun Run is set for September 5 and will be based out of the Camden On The Lake Resort. For fun off the water, the dealership also plans to host multiple Open House events at its Family Boating Center and Speed and Luxury Showroom this year. Dates are February 27-28, April 25-27 and September 19-21.
As previously reported on speedonthewater.com, Big Thunder Marine has an event for customers next week in South Florida and will join the Florida Powerboat Club Winter Fun Run group that weekend. The Big Thunder team will return to the Sunshine State—but on its Southwest Coast—for the Florida Powerboat Club Spring Naples Fun Run set for March 20-23

Organized by Big Thunder Marine, the Support Our Troops Poker Run is embraced and supported by the Lake of the Ozarks community.
