About the show
Since its inception in 1982, the Palm Beach International Boat Show has established itself as a premier showcase for luxury yachts and a cornerstone of South Florida’s marine industry. Beyond its role in the world of high-end boating, the event is a major economic driver for the region, with the 2022 edition generating an estimated $1.05 billion in statewide economic impact. Attracting over 55,000 visitors, the show contributed to more than $725 million in sales, underscoring its significance in the global yachting market.
Owned by the Marine Industries Association of Palm Beach County and organised by Informa Markets, the prestigious show returns to downtown West Palm Beach along Flagler Drive, offering a spectacular waterfront setting directly across from Palm Beach Island.
This year’s Palm Beach International Boat Show promises to be an unmissable event, showcasing an impressive fleet of luxury yachts alongside a vast selection of high-end marine accessories. With a staggering $1.2 billion worth of vessels on display—ranging from sleek 8-foot inflatables to opulent superyachts nearing 300 feet—it’s set to captivate boating enthusiasts, industry professionals, and luxury travellers alike.
Beyond the breathtaking lineup of yachts, the show offers immersive experiences for all ages, from adrenaline-fuelled demonstrations in the AquaZone to the exclusive VIP treatment at the Windward Club. This premier hospitality lounge provided ticket holders with access to both the boat show and the prestigious Palm Beach Modern + Contemporary (PBM+C) Art Fair, a fusion of world-class fine art and the epitome of maritime luxury. Held at the Palm Beach County Convention Centre, the event seamlessly brought together elite art collectors and yachting aficionados, elevating the show’s status as a must-visit for those seeking the finest in luxury yacht charter and lifestyle experiences.
