Christmas Boat Parade

The 36th Annual Marine Industries Christmas Boat Parade on Naples Bay will be held Saturday, December 13, 2025.

This year’s parade theme is “Sports: 5 Golden Rings”. Winners will take best in class and best overall theme winner. The Naples City Dock will host the judging committee and VIP guests, with limited presale tickets for a front row seat to the spectacle.

The parade of lighted boats will start at 6:15pm. All size boats are welcome to enter, in-lieu of an entry fee, donations will be accepted for the Ricky King Foundation.

The Christmas Boat Parade is a great way to get into the Christmas spirit! Decorate your boat and invite your friends and family aboard for a fun evening or charter a decorated yacht and plan to participate for your company Christmas Party! It’s also tons of fun to watch! Raft up with friends on the Bay, host a watch party in your Naples Bay waterfront backyard, or come to one of the many public viewing locations.

It’s a Naples tradition you will love taking part in! The parade may be viewed from: Naples City Dock (ticketed), Pinchers Tin City, Riverwalk Restaurant, Naples Landing, Kelly’s Fish House, The Boat House on Naples Bay, and Bayview Park.

Tickets to view the parade from the Naples City Dock can be purchased at MIACC.org.
