About Cigarette Racing Team:
Cigarette Racing Team is the icon of performance boating as many people refer to ANY go-fast boat as a CIGARETTE. Cigarette Racing was founded in 1969 by Don Aronow, the notorious “Godfather of Powerboat Racing” who won numerous World Championship titles, and raised the
profile of the company through racing and his association with celebrities, presidents and kings who were customers and friends. In 2002, the company was bought by Skip Braver, who focused on building Cigarettes with top-quality, safety and style. His efforts and a renewed international dealer network have restored Cigarette to its original status as the brand leader in luxury and performance. A Cigarette is not just a powerboat, it is a lifestyle.
