This is the most exciting and beautiful time of year in South Florida! Boat and yacht owners go all out decorating their vessels for the Holidays! Every type vessel from deck boats, bowriders, and catamarans to house boats, yachts and megayachts are festively
adorned with no detail left untouched. Some of the best boat parades in the country can be seen in South Florida. Each parade is a little different and has something to offer just about everyone.
Winterfest in Ft. Lauderdale this year has Poison frontman Bret Michaels as the grand marshal. This 12 mile route is one of the biggest holiday flotillas.
Further up the coast in the Delray Beach and Boynton Beach area you can find yuletide-spangled vessels lighting up the Intracoastal and also enjoy music, facepainting, Santa photo ops and more at the Boynton Harbor Marina.
Here are just a few of the Boat Parades you can see in the South Florida area:
North Palm Beach – December 7
Pompano Beach – December 13
Boynton Beach and Delray Beach – December 13
Wellington – December 14
Miami – December 14
Ft. Lauderdale – December 14
Boca Raton – December 15
Lantana and Lake Worth – December 20
Key Largo – December 21
Regardless of which parade you decide to attend, we suggest ALL, the child in you will be delighted at the sights and sounds of the Holidays. Also, don’t forget to check out bridge closings! You can see most bridge closings and times as well as more boat parade info at this great round up from the SunSentinel.
Don’t forget, if you are participating in one of the local boat parades it would be a good idea to have us perform a preventative maintenance checkup on your running gear as well as a boat bottom cleaning / hull cleaning! You don’t want to break down in the middle of the parade and you certainly want your boat in top running condition – at least that is what Santa would want!!!
We hope to see you at one or more of the parades this year, we’ll definitely be there as spectators and most likely with our reindeer antlers and red noses. Happy Holidays from DiverXTRM Marine Services.
