Due to the effects of Hurricane Eta, the Fort Myers Boat Show has pushed opening to Friday morning at 10 a.m. rather than Thursday.

“Today’s weather is going be pretty rough making it hard to complete our preparations,” said show manager John Good in a prepared statement. “Friday through the weekend looks great and to be sure we are safe and ready, we think it better for both our exhibitors and the public to hold off until Friday when we will be ready to open a truly great show.”

Show hours for the event now in its 48th year remain the same: Friday & Saturday, 10 a.m. – 6 p.m. and Sunday, 10A a.m. – 5 p.m.

Show admission is $16 (kids under 16 Free with paid adult). On-line tickets are suggested. There are no additional fees for on-line purchase and it will avoid waiting in line and additional contact.
