The Marco Boat Show, hosted by the Marine Industries Association of Collier County (MIACC), is the premier recreational in-water boat show in the Naples–Marco Island area. It runs Friday through Sunday, October 16–18, 2026, at the Marco Island Yacht Club and the Marco Island Marina Association, 1400 North Collier Boulevard, Marco Island, FL 34145. MIACC
As the largest recreational in-water show locally, it features displays by marinas, boat dealers, and a variety of marine-related businesses. General admission is $20 for a one-day ticket, and kids 12 & under are free with a paying adult. The show also offers a complimentary shuttle service to ease parking.
The in-water displays showcase a range of recreational boats: center consoles, dual consoles, sport fishing boats, cruisers, and pontoons, alongside electronics, engines, docks, lifts, and water sports gear. It’s a natural fit for what we offer at Nautical Boat Club, and a great place to meet boaters who are looking for a better way to get on the water.
What Makes Nautical Boat Club a Smarter Boating Choice
Here’s how we differ from owning your own boat:
Access to a full fleet — you’re not limited to one boat. Choose from boats across your membership level.
Cost-effective boating — add up insurance, storage, maintenance, dock fees, depreciation, and time, and membership often costs significantly less than private ownership.
Reciprocal boating nationwide — access to other coastal waterways and lakes in markets like Austin, Dallas, Houston, Charleston, Nashville & Savannah.
Modern, well-maintained fleet — we refresh our fleet regularly to keep boats current, safe, and desirable.
Full-service care — we handle cleaning, fueling, maintenance, and unlimited captain training with concierge-style service.
Talk to our staff — ask how membership works, see the reservation system, and request a cost comparison to private ownership.
Schedule a club tour — put a tour on the calendar and we’ll meet you at our Naples location.
Explore membership flexibility — learn how you can use boats across multiple locations and mix boat types.
Ask about show specials for attendees.
Tips for Attending
Arrive early to beat the crowds and find your must-see vendors first.
Use the complimentary shuttle to avoid parking stress.
Wear comfortable shoes — there’s dock walking and boarding multiple boats.
Bring a list of preferences (cruising vs. fishing, size, features) so you get direct comparisons.
See You October 16–18!
We’re thrilled to be back at the Marco Island Boat Show in 2026. Whether you’re a seasoned boater or just curious, this is your chance to see what modern boating can look like. We look forward to meeting you and helping you get out on the water with ease.
