“We are excited to welcome back the global community of visitors and exhibitors to the 2021 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show,” said Andrew Doole , President of U.S. Boat Shows with Informa Markets, who produces the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show . “In 2020, Informa was able to host an incredibly successful event that exceeded industry expectations despite the pandemic, and we anticipate that the 2021 boat show will raise the bar even higher for boating exhibitions.”

With demand for boating products and accessories at an all-time high, the 62 nd annual FLIBS will offer consumers and exhibitors alike with the opportunity to meet face-to-face and showcase highly sought-after products. According to the National Marine Manufacturers Association, more than 310,000 new powerboats were sold in 2020, sales figures that the recreational boating industry has not seen since before the Great Recession in 2008.

“The marine industry has been fortunate to experience unprecedented success over the last year. South Florida is honored to host for the 62nd time the premier yachting exhibition that is the world’s largest in-water boat show. Area manufacturers, brokers, and marine service professionals whose businesses impact the local economy all year will be joined by their global counter parts showcasing the best products and services the industry has to offer,” said Phil Purcell, CEO/President of the MIASF .

FLIBS is a major economic driver benefitting the marine industry, the city of Fort Lauderdale, and the state of Florida with a total statewide economic impact of $1.3 billion as a result of the 2019 show and over $714 million in products sold over the 5-day event.

With over 80 percent of the show taking place in open-air outdoor spaces, FLIBS will continue to offer a safe, open-air experience for exhibitors, visitors, and the local community to enjoy the greatest boat show on the seven seas.

This year’s show, which is scheduled to run Oct. 25-29 in southeast Florida, promises new models from top builders all around the world, including Benetti, Azimut, Wally, Princess , Sirena, Sunseeker , Galeon, Maritimo, Riviera, Sunreef, Aquila, Ocean Alexander and Viking.

Article At-A-Glance

  • The 2023 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show will be held Oct. 25-29.
  • More than 100,000 visitors are expected to attend FLIBS in 2023.
  • More than 1,300 boats are typically on display for attendees to check out.
  • Some yacht-builders with new-for-2023 models include Benetti, Azimut, Wally, Princess, Sirena, Sunseeker, Galeon, Sunreef, Maritimo, Aquila, Viking, Ocean Alexander and Rivera.

Benetti’s Oasis 34M Ubiquitous

New Yachts from European Builders

Benetti and Azimut will be bringing their Italian-built yachts to the 2023 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, while the Ferretti Group’s Wally brand will be present with its Monaco-based flair. Benetti will display the 112-foot Oasis 34M Ubiquitous, while Azimut will be showing four models in the United States for the first time, and Wally will be featuring the wallywhy150 .

Benetti’s Oasis 34M Ubiquitous

Benetti Oasis 34M Ubiquitous

The Benetti Oasis 34M Ubiquitous is scheduled to make its US debut at the 2023 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show. This is a 112-foot fiberglass motoryacht with exteriors by RWD in Britain and interiors by the New York firm Bonetti & Kozerski. The stern on Ubiquitous has Benetti’s Oasis Deck, which includes two wings that open to enlarge the space. An infinity pool is here as well, and the space adjoins the main-deck salon to give guests the option of sun-drenched or shaded spaces for relaxation.

Also at the show: Benetti will showcase the B.Yond 37M Never Say Never Again. It’s a 121-foot motoryacht from architect Stefano Righini with an E-Mode Hybrid system from Siemens Energy. The idea is to reduce harmful emissions while giving owners the option of four operating modes, including a fully electric mode for zero-emissions cruising.

Azimut Verve 48

Four New Yachts from Azimut

Azimut will have four yachts making their Americas premiere at the 2023 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show: the Verve 48 outboard, Magellano 60, Grande 36M and S7.

The Verve 48 outboard is a sport boat for weekends, designed in collaboration with Francesco Struglia. Its power is triple 600 hp Mercury outboards that promise a top speed of 50 knots. The stern has been updated from previous models; it now includes “the most extensive swim platform ever,” according to Azimut.

Crossover appeal is at the heart of the Magellano 60, with features intended for longer-distance cruising. For sustainability, the Azimut Magellano 60 can be delivered with HVOlution , a biofuel produced by Eni Sustainable Mobility. Azimut says this fuel, when combined with the shipyard’s semi-planing Dual Mode hull, can reduce carbon-dioxide emissions by more than 80 percent compared to yachts using traditional fuel.

With the Grande 36M, Azimut is showcasing a semi-walkaround upper deck that runs on the same level from the stern almost to the tip of the bow. The idea is to create an area that didn’t exist before on boats this size. Exterior design on the Azimut Grande 36M is by Alberto Mancini, with interiors by Achille Salvagni.

The Azimut S7 is a 72-foot yacht built with Volvo Penta IPS propulsion and a “super-lightweight” hull for a sporty ride. Azimut says the S7 also reduces fuel consumption and harmful emissions by as much as 30 percent compared to shaft-line boats with traditional chine hulls. Exteriors are by Alberto Mancini, with interiors by Yachtique.

wallywhy150

The wallywhy150 is also expected to be on display at the 2023 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, following its international debut at the recent Cannes Yachting Festival in France.

This 78-foot motoryacht can be ordered with triple Volvo Penta IPS1350 engines for a maximum speed of 23 knots. With the standard Volvo Penta IPS1200s, that figure is 21 knots. Exterior spaces include a completely open upper deck with dining, sunbathing and a shaded lounge. Inside, there’s sole-to-ceiling glass for great views, with a main-deck master stateroom as well as guest staterooms belowdecks. The yacht can be ordered with a VIP and two guest staterooms, or with twin VIPs.

Princess Yachts is also bringing its X80 explorer motoryacht to the Fort Lauderdale show. Along with 31-knot speed and four en suite staterooms, the X80 has what the builder calls a “super flybridge.” Princess says this deck is 30 percent bigger than other flybridges on similarly sized flybridge yachts. This space has four gathering areas, including two sun pads forward, a wet bar aft and an L-shaped settee with a dining table to port. The X80’s main deck is dedicated entirely to socializing, with an L-shaped settee accompanied by a dining table forward.

Galeon Yachts’ 450 HTC

Galeon 450 HTC

The big premiere from Galeon Yachts at the 2023 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show will be the Galeon 450 HTC. It’s a Tony Castro design that can be ordered with an optional hydraulic swim platform and an optional third stateroom for guests. The standard layout is two staterooms with two heads, including a full-beam master. This yacht has a 4-foot, 3-inch draft that allows it to access skinny waters in locations like the Bahamas . Power is a pair of 480 hp Volvo Penta D6 engines.

80 Sunreef Power Eco

80 Sunreef Power Eco

Polish builder Sunreef Yachts will be making a big show of the first 80 Sunreef Power Eco , which has been christened SÓL (after the Norse sun goddess).

Accommodations are for eight guests

Maritimo M60 Flybridge

Maritimo M60 Flybridge Motor Yacht

Maritimo’s M60 Flybridge Motor Yacht will make its US debut at the 2023 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show.

Riviera 585 SUV

Riviera 585 SUV: Does It All

Riviera says its multi-uses 585 SUV represents the “culmination of 10 years of evolution and the launch of more than 220 SUV yachts.” The yacht has three staterooms and three heads with a full-beam master amidships. In addition to its cruising, water-sports and angling flexibility, the 585 SUV is entertainment-centric with its sizable cockpit and semi-enclosed alfresco deck.

Ocean Alexander 32 Legend: Crewed-Yacht Living

The Ocean Alexander 32 Legend is a 120-foot superyacht penned by Evan K. Marshall, notable for its sole-to-ceiling glass across three decks, allowing for ocean vista from most points on board. From its seaside beach club to its foredeck lounge, rest and relaxation is at the forefront of this yacht’s design. Off the cockpit, power doors slide away allowing guests to enter the open-plan salon, which benefits from the aforementioned glass, enabling light to flood the space. A formal dining space for 10 is forward in the salon. The sense of volume and openness is palpable. The 32L has a main-deck master suite as well as four guest staterooms belowdecks. This yacht also has a skylounge with a wet bar, a TV, an ice-maker and a refrigerator, expanding entertaining options. Other alfresco spaces include a hot tub aft on the upper deck and a foredeck with a sun pad. Power is twin 2,600 hp MTU diesels.

Belowdecks, there are three double-berth staterooms and two heads. Owners can also opt to add a hydraulic swim platform. Riviera has two power options for the 46: twin 725 hp Volvo Penta D11 IPS 950s or twin 600 hp Volvo Penta D8 IPS 800s.

Viking Yachts 90

Built in the USA: Viking 90

The Viking 90 made its official debut earlier this year at the Miami International Boat Show, but Hull No. 1 is still on its premiere-year tour. It’s been turning anglers’ heads out on the fishing circuit, hauling in big catch. All expectations are that it will continue to impress show-goers at the 2023 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show.

Viking Yachts 90

Viking 90: Ultimate Fishability

The Viking 90 has a fuel capacity of 3,801 gallons in four tanks, which gives the yacht long legs for getting to and from the canyons to chase big game. It can be ordered with an enclosed or an open bridge, and it has a one-piece wraparound, enclosed-bridge windshield for improved visibility. The cockpit has 224 square feet of dance space with a 203-gallon fishbox/live well and a pair of 103-gallon insulated, in-deck fishboxes. Refrigeration on those fishboxes is optional. A Seakeeper 35 is installed to keep everything steady at sea, and the cockpit sole is built with reinforcement for a fighting chair.

Viking Yachts 90

Viking 90: Interior Creature Comforts

When the day’s fishing is done, the Viking 90 has six staterooms (including a full-beam master) and seven heads to let everyone relax in comfort. There’s a U-shaped lounge in the salon, along with a home theater that includes a 65-inch high-definition TV.

Calendar of florida boat shows, you don’t have to be a boater to dream like one. check out this round-up of the biggest and best florida boat shows.  .

By Lauren Tjaden

January | February | March | April | June | September | October | November | December 

With more registered boats than any other state, endless places to boat and year-round good weather, Florida holds bragging rights as the pleasure boating capital of the World. So, it makes perfect sense that the Sunshine State has the most and best boat shows in the nation. Read on to discover what’s happening in your neck of the sandbar as well as tips to help you get the most out of your boat show experience.

Boat Show Tips

Looking for a boat can be a real challenge, with so many makes and models to choose from. A boat show can make your search easier by putting all of your choices in one location.

If you’re not in the market you can still enjoy these events. Most shows offer accessories as well as temptations like cedar deck chairs or island-style jewelry, as well as delectable food, educational seminars, and even live entertainment. Some of the larger shows, like Fort Lauderdale and Miami , are almost impossible to see in one day, so you may want to allow two or three days to explore them. It helps to get a map and a brochure when you buy your tickets, and then take a few minutes to see what’s on display before you set out walking. This will maximize your time and make your boat show experience more enjoyable.

THE CHARLOTTE COUNTY BOAT SHOW  — The Charlotte County Fairgrounds is home to this four-day event, which boasts the largest exhibition of boats and marine products in the county. 

STUART BOAT SHOW AT THE WATERWAY  — Discover hundreds of boats in-water and on land at the three-day Stuart Boat Show, the largest boat show on Florida’s Treasure Coast. Seminars, nautical accessories, music, food and drink round out the attractions.

NAPLES BOAT SHOW  — The four-day Naples Boat Show floats into the Naples-Marco Island area with displays on land at the Naples Airport and in-water at the Naples City Dock, and a complimentary shuttle to get you around. 

  JACKSONVILLE BOAT SHOW  — The Jacksonville Marine Association invites your gang to join them for three days packed with boat displays, kids’ activities and seminars.

ST. PETERSBURG POWER AND SAILBOAT SHOW  — With bragging rights as the largest power and sailboat show on the Gulf Coast, this four-day affair is enhanced with events like kids fishing clinics and sailing seminars.

MiamiBoatShow2.jpg.1028.640.imagerendition

At the Progressive Miami International Boat Show, you’ll preview the latest in powerboats, sailboats, engines, cutting-edge marine electronics, accessories and nautical apparel in a show that features more than 3,000 boats and 2,000 exhibitors from all over the world.

- Progressive Miami International Boat Show

MIAMI INTERNATIONAL BOAT SHOW  — You’ll need a map to navigate this show, the granddaddy of all Florida boat shows. It features five action-packed days, including James Beard award-winning chefs, live entertainment and virtual reality boating, never mind the most and best drool-worthy boats on the planet.   

SUPERYACHT MIAMI  — This show, a five-day mega-festival studded with seminars, special events, and extraordinary yachts, runs at the same time as the Miami International Boat Show.

THE BONITA SPRINGS BOAT SHOW  — Welcome Florida’s premiere boating season with a visit to this four-day show, held at the Naples Ft. Myers Greyhound Track. PALM BEACH INTERNATIONAL BOAT SHOW  — With boats, yachts, accessories, seminars, demonstrations, elevated culinary experiences and more, if you’re a marine enthusiast, this four-day show is the place to be. SUPERYACHT SHOW PALM BEACH  — Running concurrently with the Palm Beach International Show, this show is invitation-only, offering high-end clients a chance to check out an assortment of the World's most luxurious superyachts while enjoying entertainment, luxury lounge experiences, superyacht seminars and private evening events.   

SUNNYLAND ANTIQUE BOAT FESTIVAL  — This long-running, three-day annual festival splashes into Lake Dora in Tavares, made even more lively with events like a captain’s party, seaplane rides, live music, beer garden and a flea market. 

SUNCOAST BOAT SHOW  — Touted as the Gulf Coast's premier boat show, this three-day extravaganza is held at Marina Jack in Downtown Sarasota. Explore tents brimming with jewelry, art and clothing; enjoy food, drinks, and music; and soak up the sunshine while pricing and comparing hundreds of vessels, big and small.

THE FLORIDA OUTDOOR EXPO  — South Florida Fairgrounds in West Palm Beach hosts this event; it strives to bring the community together to discover outdoor activities and sports, including boating.

TAMPA BAY BOAT SHOW  — Yachts! Cruisers! Kayaks! Paddleboards! Boating and fishing supplies! The Tampa Bay Boat Show showcases them all and more. Held at the Florida State Fairgrounds in Tampa, this free admission event spans three days, pledging that, “you could be on the water by the end of the weekend”. Fishing and boating seminars round out the fun.

DAYTONA BEACH BOAT SHOW  — Held at the Daytona International Speedway, this three-day event promises something for everyone, whether you’re new to boating or a seasoned sailor.

FORT LAUDERDALE INTERNATIONAL BOAT SHOW  — Held in late October through early November, this famed nautical extravaganza declares that it’s, “the greatest boat show on the Seven Seas.” It lives up to the hype, encompassing over three million square-feet of exhibits at seven waterfront locations. The boats include everything from 100-foot mega-yachts to flats fishing skiffs, but there’s more. Products, accessories, special events and seminars highlight the show, and over 100 food vendors promise a diverse, delicious way to refuel.

FORT MYERS BOAT SHOW   — You’ll find this popular four-day event in downtown Ft. Myers on the Caloosahatchee River, with boats displayed in-water as well as on land, in addition to an indoor venue stuffed with accessories.

SEMINOLE HARD ROCK WINTERFEST BOAT PARADE — Okay, so it’s not a boat show in the traditional sense, but there are boats and they put on a show. Called the, “Best Show on H2O,” this nighttime parade features boats of all sizes, beautifully decorated with lights, that cruise past viewers on a 12-mile parade route. It’s something the whole family can enjoy together.

Luxurylaunches -

To the amazement of onlookers, former UFC owner Frank Fertitta III’s $250 million yacht, Viva, got stuck at a Fort Lauderdale bridge. The 308-foot yacht, boasting a gym, pool, cinema, helipad, and even a beauty salon, may have suffered damage in the accident.

yacht show in fort lauderdale

The Viva yacht, known as an active Feadship luxury vessel delivered in 2021, experienced a bit of inactivity at Fort Lauderdale on September 10th. The vessel, with a top speed of 20.0 knots, was caught in a state of inertia due to the massive luxury yacht being lodged against the bridge. A video of the 308-foot pleasure craft, named Motoryacht of the Year in 2022, shows the pearly white hull practically stuck to the bridge with barely any space for air to pass through. It doesn’t take a genius to guess that this unwanted attachment likely caused some damage, though it is difficult to confirm from the video.

Videos show apparent tornado in Fort Lauderdale amid stormy weekend

The apparent tornado formed saturday evening, during a wet weekend across south florida., by victoria jardine and niko clemmons • published january 6, 2024 • updated on january 7, 2024 at 10:48 am.

A tornado appeared to touch down in Fort Lauderdale on Saturday -- prompting a tornado warning across Broward County and leaving several structures damaged.

There were possibly up to three touch downs in three different locations within Broward, amid a stormy weekend across South Florida.

📺 24/7 South Florida news stream: Watch NBC6 free wherever you are

Dozens of people pulled out their phone and recorded, including NBC6 viewer Tim Price, who sent in a video of the apparent tornado including power surges.

The tornado formed over land and touched down just west of Las Olas and the ICW just before 6 p.m. Saturday evening, according to Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue.

The Hurricane season is on. Our meteorologists are ready. Sign up for the NBC 6 Weather newsletter to get the latest forecast in your inbox.

It made contact with some structures, power lines and marine vessels in that immediate area, before appearing to move quickly to the east until it reached the ocean -- no longer impacting land or the ICW.

Debris landed in Jodi Lewis' yard and on top of her home.

"The house started shaking," Lewis told NBC6. "Everything‘s flying everywhere. Some of our furniture ended up a couple doors down."

Lewis said it all lasted about 30 seconds -- and when she came outside, she saw the transformer down and parts of other people's homes in her driveway.

Robert Given, a neighbor of Lewis, says he was on the roof of the Yacht Club, when he saw the debris flying. He rushed home to check on his family.

"All the dogs and cats are okay. All the kids are okay, so we'll get through this, but it's a mess," Given said.

Fire Rescue crews responded to reports of damaged homes and vessels; however, no injuries were reported and no residents have been displaced.

This is a developing story. Check back with NBC6 for updates.
