A Closer Look at the Marco Boat Show

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. Held Friday through Sunday, October 10–12, 2025, the event takes place at the Marco Island Yacht Club and the Marco IslandMarina Association. MIACC

As the largest recreational in-water show locally, it features displays by marinas, boat dealers, and a variety of marine-related businesses. Admission is $20 for a one-day general ticket, and kids 12 & under are free with a paying adult. The show also offers complimentary shuttle service to ease parking access.

You’ll find a robust vendor lineup of marinas, boat dealers, marine electronics firms, accessory companies, engine/outboard representatives, docking and lift manufacturers, water sports gear, and more. Meanwhile, the in-water displays will showcase a range of recreational boats: center consoles, dual consoles, sport fishing boats, cruisers, pontoons, and accessories to support boating operations (docks, lifts, trailers, etc.).

In short, the show is uniquely suited to boats and gear that align with what we offer at Nautical Boat Club — making it a perfect venue to connect with boating enthusiasts who already appreciate quality or 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:

• Unlimited access to our fleet — With a Platinum membership, you’re not limited to one boat. You can choose from boats across Platinum and Gold levels (based on your membership category). Cost-effective boating — If you add up insurance, storage, maintenance, dock fees, depreciation, and time, membership often costs significantly less than private boat ownership over time.

• Three Southwest Florida locations — Members in Naples can access additional SW Florida locations of Cape Coral & Key West, giving you range and flexibility for exploration.

• Reciprocal Boating Nationwide – Access to other coastal waterways and lakes in Premium Markets like Austin, Dallas, Houston, Charleston, Nashville & Savannah.

• Modern, well-maintained fleet — We refresh our fleet regularly (adding or replacing vessels to keep them current, safe, and desirable).

• Full-service care — We handle cleaning, fueling, maintenance, and unlimited captain training with concierge-style service.
