What to Expect at the Fort Myers
Boat Show
Whether you’re shopping for your dream boat or just need a great excuse to get out of the house, the Fort Myers Boat Show is the place to go. The show runs November 12-15 and offers the largest display of boats, boating products, and services on our coast. The show features 600+ boats from 130+ manufacturers, plus accessory and equipment displays, so there’s a lot to see. Here’s some insider advice for making the most of this year’s show.

Public Boat Ramp Finder
From Tarpon Springs to Marco Island, there are so many great spots to drop your boat. Our online tool makes it easy to
find public ramps as well as
fees, hours, lanes, and even contact info for making sure
your boat and vehicle meet the ramp’s requirements.

Early Fall Fishing
October is a transitional month
for both inshore and offshore species. Cooler water temps
send reef species into shallower water and the redfish bite might not be hot for much longer. See what SWFL anglers can expect
in the latest fishing report from Captain Terry.
