Boaters, anglers and bargain hunters can browse over 40 vendors at the 14th Annual Nautical Flea Market and Craft Show on Saturday, Nov. 21, at Tampa Sailing Squadron in Apollo Beach.

The event runs 7:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at 1250 Apollo Beach Blvd. All proceeds benefit two youth programs: TSS Youth Sailing Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and Sea Scout Ship 185, a branch of Scouting America.

Tampa Sailing Squadron hosts the market with U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary Flotilla 75, which is headquartered in Apollo Beach and serves southeastern Hillsborough County and Tampa Bay, according to the flotilla's website. The auxiliary will staff a tent offering boating safety tips.

The event has grown each year to draw nearly 1,000 visitors, the Osprey Observer reported.

A suggested donation of $5 at the gate includes free raffle tickets. Sources differ on the details: the Osprey Observer lists $5 per person with five raffle tickets, while an event promotion on Instagram lists $5 per family with six tickets. Door prizes will be drawn every 30 minutes.

Food options include hamburgers and hot dogs from the grill team, a DonutNV breakfast cart, a Doggie Style Hot Dogs cart and fresh baked goods. Live music rounds out the morning.

Tampa Sailing Squadron, a private member-owned club founded in 1964, also runs youth sailing and Sea Scout programs, according to its website.

Vendors who want to sell can reserve spaces starting at $40 by emailing Bob Shaw at [email protected].
