Trending articles, what’s new this year at the fort lauderdale international boat show.

Fort Lauderdale has been dubbed the Yachting Capital of the World. With more than 100,000 visitors from more than 50 countries flocking to the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS) last year, it has certainly earned its reputation. This year’s festival takes place from Oct. 25 to 29 at seven different venues. While the show is going on its 64th year, it stays fresh with new experiences while staying true to bringing together every yachty under the sun.

Stunning Venues

The Greater Fort Lauderdale/Broward County Convention Center has long been the host site of the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, and with a recent $1 billion renovation, it has even more to offer. During the five-day show, visitors will be able to wander through an extra 350,000 square feet of exhibition space, boasting technological upgrades, unparalleled waterfront views, and modernized decor fit for one of the biggest events of the year in Greater Fort Lauderdale. One of the biggest draws to the convention center will be the Nautical Ventures' AquaZone, an engaging exhibition showcasing water sports and marine products — perfect for yacht owners wanting to add more fun to their time on the water. The experience will run an hour after the show opens and an hour before the show closes for the day.

Another exciting addition to the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show is the use of the Pier Sixty-Six Hotel & Marina’s brand-new southern property for the Superyacht Village. The storied hotel has long been the heartbeat of the yachting community, and under new ownership, the property is expanding and is ready to host some of the world’s top yachts. Consider the village to be the best of the best, where yacht builders are ready in person to greet boaters ready to map out the blueprints to their next vessel or find their next favorite exotic brand. Guests can also indulge in a drink at the SYV bar, taking in the marina views.

These two venues, however, are just two of seven locations where the boat show will be spread to provide the optimum experience. There will also be events and activations at the Bahia Mar Yachting Center, Hall Of Fame Marina, Las Olas Marina, 17th Street Yacht Basin, and the Pier 66 Marina. 

Impressive Tech

FLIBS Boat Show

Over six decades old, the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show has been anything but stale. Boat owners and enthusiasts attend the show to see the greatest in boating technology. One thousand brands participate in exhibitions, putting front and center the hottest technology and cutting-edge design on the market today. That includes everything from new-age water toys to superyachts filled with the latest gadgets.

Attendees are also able to learn about what’s new on the horizon through a number of seminars. This year, FLIBS is partnering with industry pros like the Marine Research Hubs, FWC Officers, and the Ocean Rescue Alliance to share their insights on coral reef restoration, tricks of the trade in lobster hunting, mental health for superyacht staff, and kids’ fishing clinics. The seminars all align with FLIBS’ mission to be a zero-waste and net-zero carbon event by 2030.

VIP Experiences

Top-tier ticket holders are given early entry to the boat show, free shuttle and Water Taxi service, and entry to the VIP Classic Cars Evening. Need to kick your feet up? VIP also includes access to the Windward VIP Club, with a premium open bar, chef-curated dishes, luxury activations, and private bathrooms.

But not only Windward VIP will have a luxe experience at the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show. The five-day schedule features well-heeled events such as the Fort Lauderdale Concours. The soiree brings together marine and roadster enthusiasts with an array of classic and iconic cars, fine art, fashion, live music, and passed bites as the sun lowers into the Intracoastal.

No show attendees will go hungry, either. Corporate Executive Chef Vagn Nielson is heading Proof of the Pudding to serve up international dishes for every taste bud, from woodfired picanha and hamburgers to fresh stone crabs, calamari, and oysters. For a drink with some kick, order a cocktail or brew from the Goslings’ Dark ‘N Stormy Island Bar, the Anheuser-Busch Island Beer Garden, and Stella Artois Barge.

Ease of Travel

Fort Lauderdale Water Taxi

With so many experiences and events to partake in, five days might not seem like enough. Luckily, getting around all seven locations of the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show is a breeze. More than 3,000 parking spots will be available at the Broward County Convention Center, serving as the event’s transportation hub. 

Free shuttle service will be available for guests, with routes to and from the convention center to Bahia Mar, the Superyacht Village to Bahia Mar, and Fort Lauderdale Brightline station to the Riverside Hotel .

Attendees can also hop from one marina to the next aboard the Water Taxi, with three routes traveling to and from the Riverside Hotel to Bahia Mar Fort Lauderdale Beach a DoubleTree by Hilton , to and from Broward County Convention Center to SuperYacht Village to Bahia Mar, and to and from the Gallery ONEDoubleTree Hotel to Las Olas Marina to Bahia Mar.

As one of the largest yacht shows in the world, the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show flung open its doors on October 27, 2021 as a five-day show exhibiting some of the latest and most notable yachts and toys available today. With so much going across some of Fort Lauderdale’s hotspots last week, here is a round-up of some of the activities that happened: 

The superyachts

More than 640 exhibitors and 680 boats participated in this year's Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show . The largest of the line-up was located at the Super Yacht Village at Pier 66 from builders such as Benetti, Feadship, Rossinavi and Burger Boat.

In total, around 20 large superyachts between 60 and 70 metres were on show including the yachts Rebeca, BOLD, Avanti and the new Bluegame BGX70. 

Exciting seminars

During the show, at least 18 seminars took place in either the Convention Center’s Seminar Room and Aquazone. Visitors were able to learn and engage with talks about an array of topics such as fishing, navigation, fire and safety, security, marine and wildlife.

The VIP Experience

The show’s Windward VIP Club offered an exclusive area in a central location where guests could escape the heat, relax and enjoy shore and water views, a premium open bar serving the show’s official white Whitehaven wine, gourmet food and networking opportunities. 

Live watersports

The AquaZone area was an exciting and engaging attraction designed to give boat showgoers an upfront and personal experience with a variety of water sports and new marine products. Guests were able to see and try out equipment such as water bikes, kayaks, SeaBobs, surfboards, inflatables and try their luck in the Pedal Kayak Tug of War event.

New Yachts to See at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show

  • By Yachting Staff
  • October 23, 2023

The Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show is America’s biggest annual event featuring new and brokerage yachts, with more than 100,000 visitors and more than 1,300 boats on display. This year’s show, which is scheduled to run Oct. 25-29 in southeast Florida, promises new models from top builders all around the world, including Benetti, Azimut, Wally, Princess , Sirena, Sunseeker , Galeon, Maritimo, Riviera, Sunreef, Aquila, Ocean Alexander and Viking.

Article At-A-Glance

  • The 2023 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show will be held Oct. 25-29.
  • More than 100,000 visitors are expected to attend FLIBS in 2023.
  • More than 1,300 boats are typically on display for attendees to check out.
  • Some yacht-builders with new-for-2023 models include Benetti, Azimut, Wally, Princess, Sirena, Sunseeker, Galeon, Sunreef, Maritimo, Aquila, Viking, Ocean Alexander and Rivera.

Benetti’s Oasis 34M Ubiquitous

New Yachts from European Builders

Benetti and Azimut will be bringing their Italian-built yachts to the 2023 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, while the Ferretti Group’s Wally brand will be present with its Monaco-based flair. Benetti will display the 112-foot Oasis 34M Ubiquitous, while Azimut will be showing four models in the United States for the first time, and Wally will be featuring the wallywhy150 .

Benetti’s Oasis 34M Ubiquitous

Benetti Oasis 34M Ubiquitous

The Benetti Oasis 34M Ubiquitous is scheduled to make its US debut at the 2023 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show. This is a 112-foot fiberglass motoryacht with exteriors by RWD in Britain and interiors by the New York firm Bonetti & Kozerski. The stern on Ubiquitous has Benetti’s Oasis Deck, which includes two wings that open to enlarge the space. An infinity pool is here as well, and the space adjoins the main-deck salon to give guests the option of sun-drenched or shaded spaces for relaxation.

Also at the show: Benetti will showcase the B.Yond 37M Never Say Never Again. It’s a 121-foot motoryacht from architect Stefano Righini with an E-Mode Hybrid system from Siemens Energy. The idea is to reduce harmful emissions while giving owners the option of four operating modes, including a fully electric mode for zero-emissions cruising.

Azimut Verve 48

Four New Yachts from Azimut

Azimut will have four yachts making their Americas premiere at the 2023 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show: the Verve 48 outboard, Magellano 60, Grande 36M and S7.

The Verve 48 outboard is a sport boat for weekends, designed in collaboration with Francesco Struglia. Its power is triple 600 hp Mercury outboards that promise a top speed of 50 knots. The stern has been updated from previous models; it now includes “the most extensive swim platform ever,” according to Azimut.

Crossover appeal is at the heart of the Magellano 60, with features intended for longer-distance cruising. For sustainability, the Azimut Magellano 60 can be delivered with HVOlution , a biofuel produced by Eni Sustainable Mobility. Azimut says this fuel, when combined with the shipyard’s semi-planing Dual Mode hull, can reduce carbon-dioxide emissions by more than 80 percent compared to yachts using traditional fuel.

With the Grande 36M, Azimut is showcasing a semi-walkaround upper deck that runs on the same level from the stern almost to the tip of the bow. The idea is to create an area that didn’t exist before on boats this size. Exterior design on the Azimut Grande 36M is by Alberto Mancini, with interiors by Achille Salvagni.

The Azimut S7 is a 72-foot yacht built with Volvo Penta IPS propulsion and a “super-lightweight” hull for a sporty ride. Azimut says the S7 also reduces fuel consumption and harmful emissions by as much as 30 percent compared to shaft-line boats with traditional chine hulls. Exteriors are by Alberto Mancini, with interiors by Yachtique.

wallywhy150

wallywhy150

The wallywhy150 is also expected to be on display at the 2023 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, following its international debut at the recent Cannes Yachting Festival in France.

This 78-foot motoryacht can be ordered with triple Volvo Penta IPS1350 engines for a maximum speed of 23 knots. With the standard Volvo Penta IPS1200s, that figure is 21 knots. Exterior spaces include a completely open upper deck with dining, sunbathing and a shaded lounge. Inside, there’s sole-to-ceiling glass for great views, with a main-deck master stateroom as well as guest staterooms belowdecks. The yacht can be ordered with a VIP and two guest staterooms, or with twin VIPs.

Princess Yachts Y95

New Yachts from the UK, Turkey, Poland, Australia and China

Princess Yachts and Sunseeker International, both in the United Kingdom, will have new yachts at the 2023 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show. Also from overseas will be new models from the Turkish builder Sirena Yachts, Polish builders Sunreef and Galeon, Australian builders Maritimo and Riviera, and China-based Aquila Power Catamarans and Ocean Alexander.

Princess Yachts Y95

Princess Yachts Y95

The Princess Yachts Y95 is the new flagship of the builder’s Y Class series, which features open-flybridge models 72 feet and larger. This 95-footer can reportedly achieve a top hop of 24 knots, thanks to the twin 2,000 hp MAN V-12 engines, and it has a full-beam master stateroom on the main deck that lets in extra natural light through skylights.

The show will take place Wednesday October 25, 2023 through Sunday October 29, 2023.

The History of the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show Dates Back Several Decades

1960s: The origins of the show can be traced back to the 1960s when a group of local yacht brokers organized a small display of boats at the Lauderdale Yacht Club. This informal gathering laid the foundation for what would become the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show.

1970s: In 1976, the first official Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show was held. It featured around 50 exhibitors and was held at three separate locations in Fort Lauderdale. The show’s early years were modest in scale compared to what it has become today.

1980s: Throughout the 1980s, the show gained prominence and saw significant growth in terms of the number of exhibitors and visitors. It became known as the “Yachting Capital of the World” due to the concentration of yacht manufacturers, brokers, and related businesses in the area.

1990s: The 1990s marked a period of expansion for the show. It continued to grow in size and reputation, attracting more international attention and participants. The show’s organizers worked to improve the infrastructure and logistics of the event, making it more accessible and accommodating for exhibitors and attendees.

2000s: The boat show continued to flourish in the early 2000s, despite challenges posed by economic fluctuations and natural disasters. The show’s reputation as a premier event for the yachting industry continued to strengthen.

2010s: In the 2010s, the show saw even greater growth, becoming a major international event for luxury yachts and maritime products. The show featured an impressive lineup of superyachts, attracting high-net-worth individuals, industry professionals, and enthusiasts from around the world.

Recent Years: FLIBS has continued to evolve and adapt to changing industry trends and global circumstances. It has embraced technological advancements and sustainability initiatives, reflecting the changing demands of the yachting and boating industries.

Today, the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show spans multiple locations across Fort Lauderdale, including the Bahia Mar Yachting Center, Hall of Fame Marina, Las Olas Municipal Marina, and more.

FLIBS 2022 WAS A FIVE-DAY SMASHING SUCCESS

Flibs 2022 attracted over 100,000 visitors, featured over 1,200 show stopping vessels, and elevated south florida’s boating and marine industry with brisk sales.

FORT LAUDERDALE, FL (November 17, 2022) – The 63rd Annual Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS) was a five-day smashing success, as it welcomed back the international boating community into Florida's warm waters. The show welcomed back a global community of guests, with the lifting of all travel restrictions, bringing a boon to South Florida’s local marine and hospitality industry.

“The 63rd annual boat show was a fantastic way to kickstart our boat show season in South Florida,” said Andrew Doole, President of U.S. boat shows at Informa Markets . “Our incredible event marked the homecoming of the international marine community, allowing us to showcase the best our industry has to offer to our global audience. I want to extend my gratitude to the City of Fort Lauderdale and Broward County for their support of the show, as well as to our incredible partners at the Marine Industry Association of South Florida and the Informa staff. We look forward to another great event in 2023.”

This year, guests were treated to the triumphant return of leading marine manufacturers and shipyards from Europe, after a hiatus from the North American Boat Show circuit due to travel restrictions.  Illustrating the latest models being developed by the world’s leading mega yacht developers, the lauded Best of Show recognition was awarded to Italy’s Overmarine Group’s Mangusta Oceano 50 . The Oceano 50 debuted at FLIBS and wowed judges with its performance, design, technology, and sleek build. The elite panel of judges included Major League Baseball Hall of Fame inductee, Ivan “Pudge” Rodriguez; former professional motocross and stock car driver, Ricky Carmichael; yacht captain and Bravo’s Below Deck star, Captain Sandy Yawn; champion race car driver, Kyle Kirkwood; West Marine Chief Commercial Officer, Stacey Renfro; and West Marine Vice President of Brand Marketing, Josh Horoshok. The FLIBS Best of Show awards presentation will be featured via a one-hour special on FOX Sports (FS1 and FS2).

FLIBS 2022

“The Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show has long been a critical component to the city’s economy,” said Mayor Dean Trantalis, Mayor of the City of Fort Lauderdale . “Each year, FLIBS attracts people and businesses from around the world, bringing in an unprecedented economic impact and showcasing Fort Lauderdale to an international audience as an exciting, vibrant, and growing community.”

Following two years of astronomical growth throughout the industry, FLIBS hosted record-breaking performances with record sales and gains across the board for key exhibitors, serving as a barometer for brands to gauge dealer sentiment, consumer interest, and product trends.

“FLIBS continues to set the bar high for our industry, and we are thrilled to see visitors and exhibitors return every year with the same excitement we share for our boating and marine sector,” said Phil Purcell, President and CEO of the Marine Industries Association of South Florida . “We would like to express our thanks to the Broward County Convention Center, Visit Lauderdale, and all of our other local community partners for working alongside FLIBS and producing an unforgettable event.”

A star attraction, the Broward County Convention Center hosted gravity-defying presentations at the Aquazone by Nautical Ventures , interactive experiences at the Kid’s Corner, and debuts from the world’s leading boat manufacturers such as Axopar Boats , Northstar Boats , MJM Yachts , LEKKER Boats , Islamorada Boatworks , Schaefer Yachts , and Invincible Boats . Serving as the show’s transportation hub, the Convention Center provided access to affordable parking, offering a seamless transfer to complimentary air-conditioned shuttles and ticketed Water Taxis. This was a standout element of the show, which granted a smooth experience when navigating between all show locations, including the Bahia Mar Yachting Center and SuperYacht Village at Pier 66.

Luxury components displayed the opulence available across the industry, offering guests of the Windward VIP Club a one-of-a-kind experience centered around five-star gourmet culinary offerings and a premium bar with mixed drinks curated by the masterminds behind Ketel One Botanical , Tanqueray , and Crown Royal . Rounding up the luxury component, organizers partnered with the automobile giant, Audi , to feature their latest electric “e-tron” cars at the show. This new lineup of eco-friendly vehicles produces zero direct CO₂ emissions whilst driving and rely exclusively on green electricity to charge.

“We could not have done this year’s show without the instrumental support from our sponsors. Whether providing extraordinary cocktails for the Windward VIP lounge, showcasing the latest in automobile innovation, to keeping our guests safe and secure with the show’s official fire extinguisher sponsor, Fire Ranger , these partnerships are a vital component of producing the world’s largest in-water Boat Show,” continued Andrew Doole.  

FLIBS 2022

FLIBS also took extra steps to support the community through its charitable initiatives focused on bringing relief to victims of Hurricane Ian and building awareness for life-saving cancer research led by South Florida’s leading healthcare institution, the Moffitt Cancer Center and Memorial Foundation . Alongside Informa Markets , MIASF , Intrepid PowerBoats , Reef Runner Boats , and ICON Electric Vehicles , FLIBS raised over $30,000 to help this year’s philanthropic partners.

“For the past 63 years, the show has built its reputation as a world-class event and a prized platform that highlights the beautiful backdrop that is our local community, bringing visitors from across the globe to enjoy Fort Lauderdale,” said Dr. Hugo Fernandez, Chair and Medical Director of Moffitt Malignant Hematology and Cellular Therapy at Memorial Healthcare System. “FLIBS has used its platform and reach to bring awareness to the hard work that our team at the Moffitt Cancer Center Foundation and the Memorial Foundation are leading to bring life-saving cancer research to our community. Thank you to Informa Markets, Intrepid Powerboats, Reef Runner Boats, and ICON Electric Vehicles for joining us today in our fight against cancer.”
