What actually happens at an international boat show?
Owners, buyers, charter guests and marine professionals come together to explore yachts, discover innovations and make valuable connections.
🛥️ Yacht viewings
Explore layouts, craftsmanship and onboard features while speaking with the teams behind the vessels.
🤝 Business conversations
Discuss yacht purchases, charter options and marine services with brokers, builders and exhibitors.
⚙️ Industry insights
Discover marine technology and learn from expert talks and presentations.
📊 A sense of scale: the 2025 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show welcomed 100,000+ visitors, with 1,300+ vessels and 1,000 exhibitors.
💡 Good to know: admission doesn’t automatically guarantee access to every yacht. At FLIBS, boarding is at the discretion of the exhibitor, manufacturer or broker.
For the professionals representing each brand, preparation, clear communication and a welcoming presence all matter.
