Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS) marks its 67th edition in Florida, marking it as the largest scale yacht exhibition on the water on the planet. Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS) 2026 is expected to open to visitors from October 28 – November 1, 2026.
Each year, the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS) attracts more than 100,000 visitors to its floating dock systems – gathering huge assets worth about 4 billion USD, including super yachts and marine products from countless different fields.
Always chosen as a launching pad to launch luxury yacht models and the latest branded products, FLIBS is truly the top destination for the elite to create a complete luxury lifestyle on the ocean.
The Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show transforms the South Florida coastline into a giant showcase of superyachts, cutting-edge marine technology and lavish lifestyle experiences. Traveling along a seamlessly connected network of docks and exhibition areas, visitors can admire every masterpiece – from high-performance tenders and sailing yachts to a fleet of charter motor yachts, multihulls and imposing superyachts.
The huge scale of the fleet is one of the marks that make FLIBS famous. The event gives future owners and charter customers the opportunity to directly step aboard countless different yacht models, thereby visually comparing the spatial layout, design language, luxury amenities and performance capabilities.
For those planning a Florida cruise, the show is an ideal opportunity to meet with brokers and leasing professionals and gain in-depth information about cruise lines along the Florida coast, the Florida Keys, the Bahamas and the greater Caribbean region.
Going beyond yachts, FLIBS is a meeting point for shipyards, manufacturers, designers, marine equipment experts, water sports brands and luxury lifestyle exhibitors. Actual product demonstrations, on-board display spaces, networking events and luxury hotel service experiences blend to create an extremely vibrant atmosphere. All are perfectly depicted against the backdrop of South Florida’s iconic waterways.
