New Year’s in Naples: Offshore, On‑Course & By the Water

Welcome to a Warm‑Weather New Year

Imagine waking up the morning of December 31 with no snow boots, no layers, just flip‑flops or sandals, and the Gulf Ocean shimmering in the distance. That’s Naples. Whether you’re planning a soft midnight toast on a yacht or a sporty round of morning fishing on January 1, our offer at Juniper Holiday + Home gives you a base for the season’s best. Let’s explore how you can ring in a new year filled with sun, water, and a sense of easy possibility.

New Year’s Eve Events Near Naples
New Year’s Eve Bash aboard the Naples Princess

Celebrate in style with one of several New Year's Eve cruises aboard the Naples Princess. The evening cruise includes an open bar, a prime rib carving station, heavy hors d’oeuvres, party favors, a DJ, dancing, and a champagne toast at midnight. It’s one of the most festive and scenic ways to ring in the new year on the water.

For a family-friendly and earlier celebration, board the M/V Double Sunshine at 7 p.m. for a scenic cruise through Port Royal and Keewaydin Island, followed by sunset and fireworks over the Gulf of Mexico. The cruise includes individually packaged meals (ordered at booking), and views of the Naples Pier at its most magical.

Rebecca’s Wine Bar New Year’s Eve Dinner

For a cozy, elegant dining experience, book a table at Rebecca’s. Their New Years Eve menu includes oysters, short rib, black truffle gnocchi, and decadent desserts. This is perfect for couples or a small group looking to toast with great wine and ambiance.


Naples Botanical Garden

Ease into the new year with a peaceful stroll through the glowing Night Lights in the Garden display on January 1. It’s a relaxed and beautiful way to start 2026, surrounded by illuminated palms, tropical blooms, and live music.


Water, Golf & Fishing: The Perfect Day After

The fun doesn’t stop when the ball drops. For the days between December 31 and early January, Naples offers brilliant ways to start the year active or relaxed:

  • Winter Fishing Charter: Head offshore and chase tarpon, snook or grouper while the rest of the world is bundling up.

  • Golf Tee Time: Book a morning round at a top‑tier Naples course. A peaceful daylight tee time, gentle breezes and warm sunshine sets a refreshing tone for the year.

  • Beach Walks & Sunset Drinks: Let the Gulf do the work — stroll the shore at sunset, sip a drink under palm trees and reflect on the year ahead.
