n Saturday, May 13, Everglades Boats hosted the 2nd Annual Billy Bowlegs 
Pirate Poker Run at Legendary Marine in Destin. This was not your average 
poker run! Even jet skis and pontoon boats could enter to make the run. This was 
also a family friendly event, featuring kid’s activities such as a pirate museum, 

treasure hunt and more! Between 10am and 2pm guests were invited to travel to the following 
stops in no particular order: Baytown Marina in Sandestin, Fudpuckers on Okaloosa Island, 
Boschamps on the Destin harbor, AJ’s on the Bayou at Cinco Bayou, Schooners at Rocky 
Bayou and the Dockside Cafe & Oyster Bar on Boggy Bayou. Lulu’s in Destin was the fi nal 
stop of the run. 

Lulu’s hosted the after party and featured prize giveaways, awards for best pirate boat and 

best pirate costume. All profi ts from this event and the silent auction went to benefi t the 
Emerald Coast Autism Center and the William Augustus Bowles Museum & Historical 
Foundation.
