Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show 2026

The Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS) is the largest in-water boat show globally, scheduled for October 28 – November 1, 2026. This major maritime event spans seven waterfront locations, including the Bahia Mar Yachting Center, Las Olas Marina, and the Superyacht Village, showcasing approximately $4 billion worth of yachts and marine equipment. As a primarily saltwater event, it utilizes the city’s Intracoastal Waterway and Atlantic access to display over 1,300 vessels ranging from small center consoles to massive superyachts.

The show’s infrastructure is supported by the Broward County Convention Center, which serves as the main transportation hub and indoor exhibition space for smaller boats and accessories. Visitors navigate the venues via a network of water taxis and shuttles that connect the various marinas. Owned by the Marine Industries Association of South Florida, FLIBS remains a central hub for global boat debuts and nautical lifestyle experiences, drawing over 100,000 attendees to the South Florida region.
