Checkmate is about speed. It’s in our DNA. It’s been this way ever since 1963 when Bill Combs set out to build the finest, fastest, best performing racing boat at his factory in Bucyrus, Ohio

WHY OWN A BOAT WHEN YOU CAN OWN A LEGEND? Cigarette® brand powerboats are not ordinary boats. A Cigarette® boat is designed by artisans, craftsman and engineers, working hand-in-hand. The current Cigarette® lineup not only shows dramatic technical advancements, but also addresses the diverse customer needs that are not served by mass production boat builders. Other companies make “go-fast boats,” but only Cigarette Racing Team can create a Cigarette®. Our engineers and craftsman have studied the interaction between human and machine, and the emotions generated. Technology is appreciated best when it relates to real physiological or emotional needs, like wonder and adventure. There’s only one Cigarette® on the water. Own a legend.

We individually hand-craft each Commander from start to finish with care, pride, and dedication to customer satisfaction.
