The 2026–2027 Fish Tale Boat Club season is taking shape, and we wanted to give members an early look at what's on the horizon. In case you missed it we created a full playlist over on YouTube of our previous trips and events including the Cayo Costa event and our April 2026 Meeting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5i9QiVeAoVQ&list=PLa2JY51Jid-UDTC8BJP9npQjfXbgxxLGb&index=2
INTERESTED IN JOINING THE BOAT CLUB? All customers of Fish Tale Boats who have purchased a new boat in the past are welcome to apply and if you'd like more information Eric Riley & Annarose Delatto are available to answer any of your questions at any time via phone or email. Give us a call - we'd love to hear from you!
One date is fully locked in. The rest is a working list — the kind of season we'd love to put together with your input. Consider this a preview, not a calendar.

On the Drawing Board
Here's the season we're sketching out. None of these are confirmed yet, but they'll give you a sense of the rhythm we're aiming for: a rendezvous roughly once a month, a few social events layered in, and a couple of bigger trips in the summer.
Fall / Holidays
A Club kick-off meet-up during the Fort Myers Boat Show (mid-November)
The Naples and Cape Coral Christmas boat parades (December) — a Fish Tale tradition worth doing together
Winter
A January rendezvous at 'Tween Waters on Captiva
A February run to Matanzas Inn with an Estero Bay cruise
An invitation to the Bonita Bay Marina party (late February)
Club meetings at Fish Tale in January and March to plan, swap stories, and talk boats
Spring
A Marco Island raft-up in early March
A stop at the Boat House on the Caloosahatchee in April
A Cayo Costa raft-up in May to close out the local season
Summer 2027 — the big ones
A Florida Keys trip, roughly five nights, targeted for June
The Keys trip is the ambitious end of the list. If there's enough interest, we'll start planning early — these take some lead time.
Tell Us What You Want
This schedule is a proposal, and the best seasons are the ones members help shape. Which stops are you excited about? Is there a destination we missed? Reply to this post, message us in the Club forum, or let us know at the Slipaway rendezvous on November 5.
We'll firm up dates as the season progresses and post updates here and in the member area.
See you on the water.
