Event Spotlight: The 2023 Naples Boat Show
The Naples Boat Show is always one of the biggest events of the season in the Naples-Marco Island area. Nearly 100 exhibitors from around the world come together at the Naples City Dock to show off the latest advancements and accessories in boating. Here’s everything you need to know to enjoy the Naples Boat Show in 2023:
Getting There
While the Naples Boat Show 2023 is at the Naples City Dock from January 19th to January 22nd this year— don’t try and snag parking near the dock on these dates! The area will be completely packed with vendors and avid boat enthusiasts. Instead, park at the Collier County Government Complex parking garage, and catch the free shuttle down to the dock. To skip the lines at the entrance to the dock, it’s worth pre-ordering your tickets online. Admission is $12 for an adult day pass and kids are free. You can also head over to Sugden Regional Park to check out the on-land boats.
Finding Your Perfect Boat
Once you’re in the show, the hunt begins for the perfect boat! Finding the ideal for you and your family is made easy at the Naples Boat Show 2023. There’s a variety of on-land and in-water displays from Marinas, Boat Dealers, and other marine-related businesses to check out. Tour the boats, ask dealers questions, find out about the latest and greatest technology and accessories— and then seal the deal!
Join In on Other Fun Activities
Even if you aren’t interested in buying a boat at the 2023 Naples Boat Show, it’s still worth checking out the event. For the little ones in your family, the Marine Industries Association of Collier County (MIACC) offers a Kids’ Club area sponsored by Home Depot. Then, there’s a fabulous Nautical Market and Auction to benefit the MIACC Foundation and Keewaydin Preserve Sponsors. Additionally, even if you don’t want to purchase a boat— it’s still pretty impressive to check out the latest and greatest boat offerings!
