BLUE ANGELS HOMECOMING SHOW
The 2026 Blue Angels Homecoming Show is scheduled for Friday and Saturday, November 6 & 7, 2026, at NAS Pensacola.
The show is FREE and open to the public.
With the show at NAS, boaters will be able to see virtually all of the air part of the show by anchoring either in the bay or in Big Lagoon adjacent to the base. With an incredible lineup of aerobatic performers, along with the Blue Angels, this is a great opportunity for Marina customers to see the spectacular show with less hassle than the summer show. Make plans now to be there!
Gates open at 8:00 AM and the show begins at 9:30 a.m.. A “Real ID” is required to get on the base. On-land spectators are encouraged to bring their own seating OR paid seating is available for purchase. Box seating, which is located left of the center of the show-line, offers reserved theater-style chairs starting at $50 per seat.
The air show begins at 9:30 a.m. both Friday and Saturday. The Blue Angels will fly at approximately 2 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. If the air show gets canceled either day due to weather, there will be no alternate rain date.

KEEP YOUR BOAT IN TOP RUNNING SHAPE
With the off-season here, if you won’t be on your boat often, it’s a good time to inquire about our monthly RUN AND WASH service for $60/month. With this service, we will launch your boat and start it, let it get to temperature, then do a quick rinse to get any dust off the inside. Running your engines monthly helps maintain the engines and batteries. If you are interested in this service, please call the Marina Office at 850-492-0555.
