Looks like they may have the record if reports from the ground are accurate.
They needed 1,181 to break the record which is officially from Malaysia in 2014 although a “Trumptilla” boat event in South Carolina in July had over 3000 vessels.
Saturday’s event was off Clearwater, Florida with an official count being taken at the Welch Causeway Bridge in Madeira Beach.

Some wags also managed some jokes at Joe Biden’s expense during the event, decorating a wreck with Biden flags and having him bail out a sinking ship.

A great day – rain changed plans for later in the day, but a great turnout. One guy had rowboat with upside down Biden flag; dramatically pulling cord to try to start engine, and bailing out the sinking boat with a cup – hilarious. @realDonaldTrump https://t.co/pwcLFO6vLM pic.twitter.com/93aigl5EVn

National Co-chair of Women for Trump Pam Bondi spoke to “Fox & Friends Weekend.”
“This is a not-so-silent majority, and this is what’s going to get the president re-elected,” Bondi said. “These are families on every single boat.” Not to mention watching and along the shores.
Cliff Gehart, one of the organizers, told FOX 13 he believes they had close to 2000, but that they will have to wait for the officials to review the footage to officially declare the count.
While this one is going for the record, there have been Trump boat parades going on every weekend in the summer in a variety of places across the country.
