Fort Lauderdale, FL - Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS) stands as the world's largest in-water boat show, welcoming over 100,000 visitors annually to the Yachting Capital of the World. The 66th edition in 2025 showcased more than 1,300 vessels and 1,000 exhibitors representing over 50 countries across seven locations spanning nearly 90 acres of exhibit space.
Produced by Informa Markets and owned by the Marine Industries Association of South Florida (MIASF), FLIBS generates an impressive $1.78 billion economic impact for Florida and drives over $800 million in marine product sales during its five-day run. The show celebrates every facet of the marine lifestyle—from luxury superyachts and sportfishing vessels to tenders, catamarans, and cutting-edge marine technology.
With educational seminars at the Broward County Convention Centre, prestigious Honours Awards recognising global ocean stewardship, and the highly anticipated Best of Show Awards broadcast on FOX Sports, FLIBS continues to set the standard for international boat shows. The event serves as both an industry cornerstone and year-round economic catalyst, fueling over 100,000 jobs and reinforcing South Florida's leadership in the global marine industry.
