Join Us for Supercat Fest 2018

One of our favorite annual events at the Lake of the Ozarks is back August 23-25, 2018! Supercat Fest is an annual celebration of the world's finest high-performance catamarans and more. The event is held at the Horny Toad Complex at Camden on the Lake, and coincides with the Lake of the Ozarks Shootout.


Supercat Fest Details


Headquartered at Camden on the Lake Resort Docks in Lake Ozark, Supercat Fest presents the greatest collection of exotic go-fast catamarans - and even a few v-bottom sport boats and high-performance center consoles - in the world! The owners bring the boats, so it's not a formal boat show, but that makes it that much more enjoyable for performance boat enthusiasts. It's just one big party for those looking to enjoy fast boats, live music and more. This year's Supercat Fest will feature some of your favorite events from year's past including the Friday night Bikini Contest and the Saturday night Lake of the Ozarks Shootout Auction. Watch the Shootout races on Saturday from the big screen at the pool!

The Dave Baker Band 


This year's Supercat Fest will feature music from the Dave Baker Band! They will take the stage at 8 pm on both Friday and Saturday night. The Dave Baker Band brings you all your favorite tunes from the 70's to current hits in one show. If Journey and the Zac Brown Band threw a party and invited Lady Gaga, AC/DC and Elton John - this would be the soundtrack. After many years of being the voice and front man for Mid-Missouri's most popular bands The Cherry Pistols and Five Turn Knot, lead singer Dave Baker has joined together some of the best local talent to bring you The Dave Baker Band. This is one show that will not disappoint!

With fast boats and great music, why wouldn't you want to join us for Supercat Fest 2018? This is one of Summerset Boat Lifts' favorite annual events! The best part is being able to host one of these awesome catamarans on our super-cool dock featuring a helicopter pad.


We hope you have a great time out on the water during all the upcoming boating events at the Lake - and remember, if you're in need of boat lift services at the Lake of the Ozarks, we're your guys!

According to Powerboat Magazine, it's one of the nation's eight "must-see" boating events. The event will bring the top racers and offshore racing powerboats up to 244 MPH.
