Bahia Mar Yachting Center, 801 Seabreeze Blvd, Fort Lauderdale, FLDirections

About this venue

FLIBS is not held at a single venue but across seven waterfront locations in Fort Lauderdale connected by a water and ground transportation network. The flagship site, Bahia Mar Yachting Center (801 Seabreeze Blvd), showcases everything from center consoles to superyachts, accessories, and electronics. The other locations are: the Broward County Convention Center (vessels up to 50', marine accessories, electronics, retail, plus 3,000 parking spaces and the AquaZone); Hall of Fame Marina (brokerage and new-build yachts, home of the Windward VIP Club); Las Olas Marina (brokerage yachts from roughly 60'–200'); the 17th Street Yacht Basin / Hilton Fort Lauderdale Marina (superyachts 100'+); Pier Sixty-Six Marina (brokerage vessels 100'+); and the Superyacht Village at Pier Sixty-Six South (the largest yachts at the show). Together the venues span a large waterfront footprint linked by six miles of floating docks.

Parking

The Broward County Convention Center (1950 Eisenhower Blvd) serves as the show's transportation hub, offering over 3,000 parking spaces at a flat rate of $20 per day, with water taxi, shuttle, and golf cart service to all seven locations — the recommended "park and start here" option.

Additional public and garage parking is available throughout downtown Fort Lauderdale, the Las Olas area, and near the beach, including:

  • Las Olas Marina Garage (240 Las Olas Cir)
  • 17th Street Yacht Basin (1881 SE 17th St)
  • Superyacht Village at Pier 66 South (valet available, 2150 SE 17th St)
  • Brightline Station Garage (101 NW 2nd Ave)
  • Numerous Las Olas Boulevard garages (Bank of America Plaza, Fifth Third Bank, Las Olas Centre I & II, and others)

Participating City of Fort Lauderdale garages accept the PayByPhone app (iOS/Android) or phone payment at 1-888-680-7275.

Getting there

The show's seven venues are linked by a complimentary transportation network of shuttles, golf carts, and water taxis, with the Broward County Convention Center acting as the central hub. Because the footprint is large, use the shuttle and water taxi network rather than walking between venues.

  • Air: Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International Airport (FLL) is the closest airport, just minutes from the show sites; Miami International (MIA) is also within driving distance.
  • Train: The Brightline express rail service connects Miami, Aventura, West Palm Beach, Boca Raton, and Orlando directly to Fort Lauderdale.
  • Rideshare & driving: Rideshare drop-off and ample garage/valet parking are available; the Convention Center offers a $20 flat-rate lot with onward shuttle and water taxi service.
