Full steam ahead! The Boating Capital of the World specialty license plate is in production, and we're on course to see it on Florida roads in early 2027!
Captain Sandy's Charities thanks everyone who supported the presale and helped bring this initiative to life. Your enthusiasm has built momentum for the plate, and we're excited to keep it going into the new year.
You're one step closer! We'll share availability information and next steps as soon as they're confirmed. Keep an eye out for updates from Captain Sandy's Charities.
The Boating Capital of the World plate is expected to go on sale to the general public in early 2027. That means even more Floridians will have the opportunity to celebrate our state's boating heritage and show their maritime pride wherever the road takes them.
We're looking forward to seeing the Boating Capital of the World plate on Florida roads and welcoming more supporters as the public launch approaches.
The countdown to 2027 is on! Check back for updates as we get closer to availability.
