Event Information
The 52nd Annual Fort Myers Boat Show, the premier boating event in the region, is set to grace downtown Fort Myers from Thursday, November 14th, to Sunday, November 17th.
Set against the picturesque backdrop of the Caloosahatchee River, this event promises to showcase the finest boating offerings available on Florida’s west coast. With over 100 manufacturers represented, the show boasts an impressive array of boats, boating products, and services, catering to a diverse range of boating enthusiasts.
Spanning the entire riverfront area of Downtown Fort Myers, the show is spread across Centennial Park, the Caloosa Sound Convention Center, and Edwards Drive, extending from west of Monroe Street to east of Lee Street. Whether you’re in the market for a new boat, seeking to repower or upgrade your current vessel, or simply curious about the latest trends in boating, this event has something for everyone.
The Caloosa Sound Convention Center will be a hub of boating-related activities, featuring an abundance of engines, electronics, boat lifts, paddle boards, apparel, fishing gear, marine services, and all the gear and gadgets that boaters adore. Don’t miss our “Know Before You Go” display in the Convention Center’s lobby, where local boating experts will be on hand to provide valuable insights into basic boating knowledge, boat safety, and recommended spots for enjoying the water. Additionally, Capt. Terry Fisher will return with informative fishing seminars, offering in-depth tips, tricks, and techniques for inshore and offshore fishing.
The Boat Show is a big event, so take some time to relax and enjoy one of our several food and beverage areas within the show. Foodies will find a wide variety of options available at the show and in the Downtown area. Many downtown restaurants and bars are just a short walk away, including the stunning Luminary Hotel overlooking the show. Don’t forget to get a wristband as you exit for same-day re-entry.
