Cigarette Rendezvous Opens Registration

Registration is open for the 2025 Cigarette Owners Rendezvous, set for June 12-14 at the Lake of the Ozarks. In 2024, the event attracted more than 100 boats and hundreds of participants to the Central Missouri waterway.
Big Thunder Marine, the Opa-Locka, Fla.-headquartered center console and sporboat builder’s dealer at the lake, is organizing and producing the event for the second year.

Participants will check in and enjoy a welcome reception at Big Thunder’s Speed and Luxury Showroom in Lake Ozark. The gathering’s other off-the-water activities will happen at the nearby Camden At The Lake Resort.
Earlier this week, both Big Thunder and Cigarette sent emails to owners announcing that sign-ups had begun. Though the itinerary has not been finalized, last year’s event, which celebrated Cigarette’s 55th anniversary, included a multi-stop fun.
Speedonthewater.com contributing photographer Jeff Helmkamp captured the event last year, as he has for the past several years. The turnout impressed him.

Cigarette owners are among the most brand-loyal members of the high-performance boating community.
“Every dock at Camden was full and there were a couple raft-offs, plus Cigarettes at the gas docks,” explained Helmkamp, who caught a ride for the day with Cigarette owner Ron Szolack. “Every direction you looked on the lake, there were Cigarettes.”
