Suit up and ship out: It's time for the SoFlo Boat Show, three days of maritime merriment during which exhibitors and enthusiasts convene along the bayfront to scope the latest and greatest in nautical tech. This year's event at the historic Miami Marine Stadium boasts a sprawling, air-conditioned marketplace, a fishing zone and an underwater zone, plus the Ship’s Wheel Bar, a 360-degree central hangout spot to kick back and fuel up. While you're there, partake in raffles and giveaways for a chance to win free fuel for a year or even an actual boat. There's also a fishing competition, the prize of which is a photograph of the winning angler and their catch on the wall of any Flanigan's of their choosing. Talk about a great fishing story.
