Atlantic City War at the Shore

We’re proud to be part of North Beach AC, a presenting sponsor for this event!

OPA Racing is proud to announce that North Beach has officially signed on as the presenting sponsor of the 2025 War At The Shore, one of offshore powerboat racing’s most thrilling and anticipated competitions. This exciting new partnership brings with it a bold move: relocating the heart of the event to Atlantic City’s iconic boardwalk, promising unprecedented exposure and excitement for fans and competitors alike.

With the event’s pits now stationed on Showboat property, directly in front of one of the East Coast’s largest indoor waterparks, the 2025 War At The Shore is set to become a marquee spectacle on the summer calendar. The move dramatically increases visibility for the event, setting a new standard for how offshore racing can be showcased in urban resort destinations.

“The Atlantic City race has always been a favorite among the racers who prefer a challenge,” said Nick Smith, President of OPA Racing. “With North Beach’s help, now we can begin to fund the racers for their participation and add levels of importance to the already daunting task, which is to win the War At The Shore.”

North Beach’s support reflects a growing commitment to elevating the profile of high-performance marine sports in Atlantic City. The 2025 event will not only feature top-tier offshore powerboat racing but also aim to bring fans closer to the action than ever before, thanks to its central location and upgraded facilities.

More details, including hotel room blocks, full race schedule, and spectator information, will be released in the coming weeks.

Stay tuned as Atlantic City prepares to host the fiercest battle on water — the 2025 War At The Shore, presented by North Beach.
