The 53rd Annual Fort Myers Boat Show<\/a> is making waves in downtown Fort Myers this weekend, offering a nautical paradise for boat lovers. With hundreds of boats on display, live music, and activities for the whole family, the event promises to be a memorable experience.<\/p>\n

Mike Reader from Cape Coral shared his enthusiasm for the waterfront atmosphere and the variety of boat manufacturers present.<\/p>\n

“Waterfront, you got the restaurants you got a great variety of boat manufacturers out of here, it’s a win-win-win,” said Reader.<\/p>\n

The show features boats of every size and style, from sleek jet skis to luxurious yachts. Visitors like Rosemarie Field from Georgia are excited to explore.<\/p>\n

“We just love looking at all the different boats and I love the yachts,” said Field.<\/p>\n

Reader also commented on the appeal of discovering new boats.<\/p>\n

“There is always something new out here and it’s a beautiful day and can go check out the boats and when you got a boat you’re always thinking what’s the next boat look like,” said Reader.<\/p>\n

This year’s event is focused on providing an unforgettable experience beyond just boat shopping. Attendees can enjoy live music, food trucks, seminars, and even a new riverside pub and grill.<\/p>\n

Kyle Good, the Boat Show Manager, highlighted some of the attractions.<\/p>\n

“We’ve got live music, as you can kind of see in here in the background. We’ve got a food truck. We have our fishing and boating seminars,” said Good.<\/p>\n

There is something for every kind of boater, from pontoons and fishing boats to center consoles. John McDonough, a visitor, expressed his excitement to see what’s new.<\/p>\n

“Going downtown on a beautiful day but in addition, I want to see if there is anything new that I don’t know about boats,” said McDonough.<\/p>\n

The Fort Myers Boat Show runs until Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., offering plenty of opportunities to explore and enjoy the maritime festivities.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The 53rd Annual Fort Myers Boat Show is making waves in downtown Fort Myers this weekend, offering a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":45760,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[30044,209,211,210,28,1097,1944,897,30045,1853],"class_list":["post-45759","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cape-coral","tag-boat-show-manager","tag-cape-coral","tag-cape-coral-headlines","tag-cape-coral-news","tag-florida","tag-food-truck","tag-food-trucks","tag-fort-myers","tag-fort-myers-boat-show","tag-georgia"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45759","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=45759"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45759\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/45760"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=45759"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=45759"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=45759"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
