Meet Me in Margaritaville: The Ultimate Collection is a Jimmy Buffett greatest hits compilation album consisting of 2 compact discs and 38 songs. The album is notable for several newly recorded and updated versions of songs considered as classics in his repertoire. Strangely missing from the mix is fan-favorite and concert-standard "Boat Drinks".

This collection presents 12 new recordings. As this is a career retrospective and aimed at a more casual audience, the album met criticism due to a quarter of the material being new recordings rather than focus on the original incarnations of the songs.[citation needed]

The following six songs are re-recordings of previously released songs: "The Captain and the Kid", "He Went to Paris", "In the Shelter", "Knees of My Heart", "The Pascagoula Run", "Saxophones", and "Son of a Son of a Sailor". The new version of "Son of a Son of a Sailor" is a duet with Nadirah Shakoor'. The following three songs are new live recordings: "Desperation Samba (Halloween in Tijuana)", "Holiday", and "A Pirate Looks at Forty (Mother, Mother Ocean)". Buffett also newly recorded two covers: ""Everybody's Talkin'" by Fred Neil and Harry Nilsson and The Beach Boys' "Sail On Sailor".
