We're kicking off our 2026-2027 boating season with a very special return to CJ's on the Bay in Marco Island, a destination that holds a tremendous amount of history for FMO.
For many years, CJ's was home to our annual Holiday Run, traditionally one of the largest and most anticipated events of the season. It's also where our founder, Bob Barnhart, helped establish the friendships and traditions that shaped what Fort Myers Offshore has become today.
A last-minute venue change may have altered our original plans, but sometimes things have a way of working out for the better. We couldn't be more excited to bring the FMO family back to this special destination!

We've been working closely with our hosts to maximize available dockage and accommodate our fleet.
We'll have access to the seawall docks surrounding the marina, with rafting anticipated at three to four boats deep in designated areas. Additional dockage will also be available just around the corner from CJ's, directly across the street.
Our goal is to accommodate as many participating boats as possible while keeping the docking process safe and organized.
