An exclusive yachting event in Florida!
Since 1982, the Palm Beach International Boat Show (PBIBS) has established itself as a major player in the nautical and marine industry in South Florida. The 42nd Palm Beach International Boat Show took place in 2024, attracting thousands of visitors and exhibitors. This year, the Palm Beach International Boat Show was held from March 19-23, 2025, in downtown West Palm Beach, Florida. This boat show has become a must-attend event and was a great success for visitors, exhibitors, and organisers. The yacht and accessory exhibits were valued at over $1.2 billion. Hundreds of boats, ranging from 2.4-meter tenders to nearly 91-meter superyachts, were on display!
As is the case every year, the show features a fine selection of boats and yachts of all sizes, world debuts, and a selection of the latest nautical products and accessories. Builders and designers of luxury yachts and brokerage yachts were also present at the show.
The 2025 edition of the boat show revealed an estimated economic impact of over $1.05 billion, with over 55,000 visitors, over 1,000 boats on display, and some 600 exhibiting brands! In addition, the Palm Beach International Boat Show coincided with the Modern and Contemporary Art Fair. These two events brought together a group of internationally renowned art dealers and maritime enthusiasts to Palm Beach.
Within this show, the Windward VIP Club offered a high-end open bar and gourmet cuisine. Presented by Nautical Ventures, the AquaZone was a captivating attraction, giving visitors the opportunity to discover innovative water sports and marine products. Nautical Ventures was created to meet the needs of South Florida boaters by an owner who lives aboard a 25-meter expedition yacht and has travelled the world over 13 years, covering 42,000 nautical miles, with his wife, two dogs, and a monkey.
From the VIP experience to the AquaZone, activities were all offered for everyone's enjoyment! Over the years, the Palm Beach International Boat Show has developed a rich culinary experience and offered a multitude of options for all tastes, in addition to nautical passions.
This show is a responsible and sustainable event. Its goals are zero waste, a Styrofoam-free policy, sustainable food, clearly labelled menus, and the phasing out of straws. It recognizes initiatives that contribute to preserving and protecting Florida's environment and wildlife for future generations.
Palm Harbor Marina was designed and developed for the enjoyment of owners, captains, and crews. It welcomes a large international boating community with state-of-the-art facilities. It is ideally located in the heart of Palm Beach, near restaurants, beaches, golf, shopping, entertainment, and museums. Palm Beach International Airport and private aviation facilities are just 15 minutes from the marina.
