Registration & Waiver Form

“Our cruising fleet is excited to light up the water again during the Holiday Boat Parade, and it’s going to be an amazing evening with Laura Moody as Grand Marshall for this premier community event. Look for Laura Moody as Grand Marshall on the 82’ Monte Fino Yacht Andiamo throughout the parade”.

The 2025 Grand Marshal will be Laura Moody of Fox13 Tampa Bay.

The parade launches just north of the Mandalay channel bridge, following its traditional route heading north, then through the Island Estates community, then to the Memorial Causeway bridge, then back towards the beach, turning around at the City Fuel Dock, and then down to the judging area in front of the Clearwater Yacht Club. Boats will be judged as they pass by the Clearwater Yacht Club. Cash, trophies, and prizes will be awarded for several categories, including a Grand Prize.
