The Fort Myers Boat Show returns Thursday through Sunday, November 12–15, 2026, for its 54th year along the Caloosahatchee River in downtown Fort Myers. Hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily. Boats are shown in the water at the City Yacht Basin and on land through Centennial Park, with marine gear and accessories inside the Caloosa Sound Convention Center.
Produced by the Marine Industries Association of Southwest Florida, it is the largest boat show in Lee County and the start of the regional show season. Expect center consoles, pontoons, cruisers, and yachts, plus dock displays, seminars, food, and live music in the park. The River District’s restaurants and shops are a short walk away. Admission is about $20. Thursday and Friday are usually the quieter days.
It is an easy day to pair with a private charter: cruise the river, step ashore near the yacht basin, and spend the afternoon on the docks. For hours, tickets, and any schedule changes, check the latest updates from the organizer at miaswf.com/swami-shows.
