Waves of Freedom – Veteran’s Day Celebration

Join us at MarineMax Fort Myers on Tuesday, November 11 for Waves of Freedom, a special event honoring local veterans through the healing power of boating and community, hosted in coordination with the Freedom Waters Foundation.

Veterans and their families are invited to sign up to participate in the day’s events as honored guests—enjoying a patriotic ceremony, a river cruise aboard MarineMax vessels, and a barbecue lunch with live entertainment.

The public is welcome to join the parade on the water by decorating their own boats and taking part in the flotilla on the Caloosahatchee River.
