Boat Show Coming to Marco

Marco Island Yacht Club is partnering with Marco Island Marina Association and Marine Industries Association of Collier County to bring what the organizers describe as the “largest premier recreational in-water boat show in the Naples-Marco area” the weekend of October 10. 

The show, running Friday, Saturday, and Sunday that weekend, will resemble the type of in-water nautical showcase many area boaters are used to attending in other coastal cities in Florida. It will feature boat dealers, displays by marinas, and other marine industry businesses. 

“We are thrilled to host our very first boat show at Marco Island Yacht Club,” said Missy Duffy, the Club’s general manager. “This event is a milestone for our members and the broader boating community, showcasing not only beautiful vessels but also the spirit of hospitality and camaraderie that defines our club,” she said. “It’s an exciting opportunity to kick off the season, celebrate the boating lifestyle, and create a new tradition for the community of Marco Island.” 

In addition to presenting partners, other sponsors include Rose Marina, Port 32 and Coastal Angler magazine. 

Tickets are $20 per day, with free admission for kids under 12, and can be purchased in advance at www.miacc.org.
