I'm a pool contractor in Michigan and expanding to Naples this winter. Timing is a major issue, and would like to know when the snow birds begin the migration shouth?

Not sure about Naples, but sometime around Thanksgiving here on the East Coast.

November it starts to show for sure.

i do a/c work in the area..they start to show up at halloween..but in force around thanksgiving

Some are showing now to check on their places, most show in October thru Easter....

Don't know about Naples, but we're moving down to Cape Coral full time in two weeks, so good luck with the new business.

I am opening a business down there too,and we were pushing it off because we didnt want to open going into summer, now we are so behind we hope to get it open before the end of the year. But keep your eye open in Dec we will be open, I hope, it will be in the Mercato shopping center. Taps Restaurant Bar & Lounge. http://www.tapswineandbeer.com/ Good luck with your new venture.

We keep our boat in Naples during the winter and come down for a long weekend most months. Too young to retire but too old to spend the whole winter in MN. A good beer and wine place will be great. We'll stop by when you're open. Now figure out a way to have a dock!
