Cedar Key Small Boat Meet

41st Annual Cedar Key Small Boat Meet
May 1-3,2026

The 2024 hurricane season was catastrophic for Cedar Key, but the community is resilient and has made great progress with many lodgings available as well as restaurants. It is not too early to start making reservations if you have not already done so.

The Cedar Key Small Boat Meet is the premiere event on the West Coast of Florida celebrating small craft. Cedar Key is the location for an informal gathering of small craft of any type, everyone is welcome. There are no fees, no registration and no planned events.

All shallow draft craft are welcome: dories & dinghies, catboats, beach cats & trimarans, sharpies & sampans, cuddy day-sailors, any or all driven by pedals, engines or motors, paddles, and sails.
The Cedar Keys & the Lower Suwannee National Wildlife Refuge are as enchanting as ever. Come enjoy the Nature Coast, meet old friends, and make new ones.

For those that once a year isn’t enough, come November 6-8, 2026, and enjoy fall in the Cedar Keys. We’ve set the date this year for more favorable tides.
