===Venture Cup===
In 2012, it was announced that a new series of 'ultra-marathon' offshore races would be run every two years under the title of the Venture Cup. The first race was scheduled to take place in June 2013 from Cowes in the UK to Monte Carlo; many consider the 1972 London to Monte Carlo race to have been the greatest powerboat race ever.<ref>Archived at [https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211205/icQ5rYk93qc Ghostarchive]{{cbignore}} and the [https://web.archive.org/web/20190110092651/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icQ5rYk93qc&gl=US&hl=en Wayback Machine]{{cbignore}}: {{cite web| url = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icQ5rYk93qc| title = London-Monte Carlo PowerBoat Race | date = 22 August 2013 | via=[[YouTube]]}}{{cbignore}}</ref> The Venture Cup is billed as the World's longest, toughest and most prestigious powerboat race. The 2013 race was however cancelled because of lack of funding and replaced by a Prologue.

In 2015 the Venture Offshore Cup was announced. The race was to be run around the entire coast of Ireland, beginning in Cork and ending in Dublin with multiple stops en route. However, in May 2016 the organisers cancelled the race again.
