Kith for Cigarette Racing

Coming Soon

For Summer 2025, Kith debuts its partnership with Cigarette Racing, a renowned American manufacturer of high-performance luxury powerboats. 

Cigarette Racing was founded in 1969 by Don Aronow, a former real estate developer turned offshore powerboat racer, who became an icon in the high-speed boating world. The company’s name comes from the “Cigarette” class of boats—long, narrow, and built for speed—which Aronow helped popularize during the 1960s and '70s in offshore racing competitions. Originally created for offshore racing, the brand quickly began to compete in races across open water, which led to the expansion of sleek, fast and durable boats. 

Kith and Cigarette Racing have collaborated on a trio of reimagined luxury boats: the 515, 42’ X, and 42’ Auroris. Each of these three boats features entirely custom paint jobs and upholstery, while retaining the unparalleled performance they’ve come to be known for.

The 515 stands as Cigarette’s most advanced model—a 3,100-horsepower boat capable of reaching 125 mph. It features a black and blue metallic exterior with the Kith Flight logo & artwork across the top deck, hull, and engine hatch pad. It's finished with co-branded interior details, including the Kith Pegasus logo on the startup screen and steering wheel. At the helm, you’ll find a dash assembly featuring two flush-mounted 22” high-definition Garmin multifunction displays with GPS and Mercury engine data integration.

The 42′ X serves as a high-performance V-bottom powerboat built for speed and optimized for rough water. It features a custom wood airbrush exterior and Kith for Cigarette Racing Script across the rear, top deck and hatch. Inside, the Kith Crest logo and monogram detailing appear on the seats, speedometer, steering wheel, and engine. Its white and brown custom hues give it a classic, timeless appeal. 

The 42′ Auroris embodies Cigarette Racing’s expert blend of performance and luxury. This reimagined version highlights a custom green exterior with Kith for Cigarette Racing branding along the rear and Kith’s monogram artwork across the hardtop. Exclusive branding continues along the engine backbones and keel, while the interior features embossed Kith logos on the seats, headrests, and a startup screen showcasing the Kith Pegasus logo. Its advanced Garmin displays offer simple control of all systems on board.

Alongside this offering of custom boats, the brands also created an exclusive capsule, featuring Kith’s signature silhouettes updated with debut Kith for Cigarette Racing artwork. Each style incorporates custom artwork and ties back to the three boats designed by the brands.

These boats will be made-to-order through CigaretteRacing.com starting this Friday.
