St. Thomas Carnival isn’t over yet.
Ocean Co’Mocean Poker Run 2026 takes place Sunday, May 3, 2026, right after St. Thomas Carnival, and is one of the most anticipated poker run experiences in the Caribbean.
This is not a race.
Ocean Co’Mocean is a fun, easy-to-play poker card game on the water, featuring boats, multiple beach stops around St. Thomas, food, music, games and cash prizes up to $8,000.
It’s social, relaxed, and designed so anyone can participate — whether you own a boat or not.
