Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show 2026

Date: 28 October 2026 – 1 November 2026

Location: Multiple venues, Fort Lauderdale, United States

Organizer: FLIBS

The Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show is the largest in-water boat show in the world, and the 67th edition runs from 28 October to 1 November 2026. The scale is hard to overstate: seven venues across the city, from the Broward County Convention Center to Bahia Mar and the Superyacht Village at Pier 66 South, all linked by six miles of floating docks, water taxis and shuttles. More than 100,000 visitors attend. Superyachts are the headline act, but the show covers everything from center consoles and sportfishers to sailing yachts, tenders, electronics and marine technology. FLIBS is also where a large share of the global brokerage market does its year-end business, so the docks are as much a trading floor as an exhibition. Plan your days by venue, not by whim, or the distances will beat you.
