Re: Miami Boat Show - where to stay
 

Thanks wrinkleface. I just booked a room at the Shelborne. Great rate too for that area. We are probably flying into Ft Myers, I have a friend who has a condo in Naples that we will stay at that is priced right - free :D . We are driving over Friday morning and going to the show Fri and Sat, then driving back to Naples Sat nite.

I appreciate your help and advice.

I like Collins Avenue (not just due to the name).
It's right where the brokerage yachts are (I like looking at those babys too).

Also, it is hard to beat Marriott Biscayne bay towers right over the marina. Shuttles run back and forth to the show locations from collins and such.
