The Fort Myers Boat Show was originally scheduled to begin in November, but the event has been delayed due to the damage and ongoing cleanup due to Hurricane Ian. It will now take place from January 5th-8th, ringing in the new year in Fort Myers in style. The Fort Myers Boat Show is located along the Caloosahatchee River and stretches for miles from Centennial Park to the Fort Myers City Yacht Basin.
