The MarineMax Yacht Gala has become one of Southwest Florida’s premier philanthropic events, raising more than $2.2 million over the past nine years in support of pediatric healthcare. Guests will enjoy an elegant evening featuring cocktails, a gourmet dining experience, live entertainment, and both live and silent auctions, all set among an impressive display of luxury yachts.
This year’s gala will benefit the SEA STAR Program (Safety Education Awareness, Sensory Training – Autism Readiness), a groundbreaking initiative designed to enhance the hospital experience for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder and sensory sensitivities. Proceeds from the event will support expanded training, resources, and sensory-friendly environments that help create more inclusive and comforting care for pediatric patients and their families.
“Celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Yacht Gala is incredibly meaningful for our team and our community,” said Aaron Kramer, General Manager of MarineMax Fort Myers. “This event is not only a beautiful evening on the water, but an opportunity to make a real difference for children and families throughout Southwest Florida.”
MarineMax Fort Myers invites the community, boating enthusiasts, and philanthropic supporters to join in this special night of celebration and giving.
