The **Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS)** is recognized as the largest in-water boat show in the world, transforming Fort Lauderdale — the "Yachting Capital of the World" — into a five-day showcase of luxury yachts, marine innovation, and waterfront lifestyle experiences. Owned by the Marine Industries Association of South Florida and produced by Informa Markets, the 67th edition returns October 28–November 1, 2026, spanning seven premier waterfront venues connected by miles of floating docks. The show draws a global audience of yacht buyers, brokers, marine industry professionals, boating enthusiasts, and curious visitors. Exhibits range from center consoles and fishing boats to brokerage vessels and towering superyachts, alongside marine electronics, accessories, exotic cars, and the latest marine technology. The event features more world and U.S. debuts than any other boat show in the country. FLIBS is worth attending for its unmatched breadth: over 1,300 vessels on display, roughly 1,000 exhibiting brands from around the world, educational seminars, interactive attractions like the AquaZone, and premium hospitality. Whether you are shopping for a boat, sourcing marine products, or exploring the yachting lifestyle, FLIBS offers a comprehensive, immersive experience across its seven-location footprint.
