The 63rd annual Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS) is dropping anchor throughout Fort Lauderdale, October 26-30, 2022.

Whether you’re a superyacht connoisseur or you’ve been fantasizing about buying a boat since life became all about seclusion with your bubble of family and friends, FLIBS is the world’s largest in-water boat show and features the largest display of boats and new models on display with hundreds of exhibitors across multiple outdoor sites.

What to Expect

The outdoor show spans nearly 90 acres over three million square feet of exhibition space featuring more than 1,000 boats and yachts, including multiple cafes and food and beverage garden options for taking breaks.

Soak up our warm weather, balmy breezes, and swaying palm trees as you wander waterfront locations including the Bahia Mar Yachting Center, International Swimming Hall of Fame Marina, Las Olas Municipal Marina, Hilton Fort Lauderdale Marina, Superyacht Village as well as the newly expanded exhibit hall at the Greater Fort Lauderdale/Broward County Convention Center.

Don Dingman, the host of Hook the Future on the Sportsman Channel, returns to host multiple Kids Fishing Clinics.

The Showstoppers

Superyacht Village is back in 2022, located at Pier Sixty-Six Hotel & Marina's Pier South property adjacent to the southeast corner of the 17th Street Causeway, boasting eye-popping superyachts and exhibits.

“In order to cater to our luxury clientele, we’re once again showcasing the superyacht lifestyle,” says Andrew Doole, President of Informa U.S. Boat Shows.

Getting to FLIBS

Transportation options include valet parking available at Las Olas Marina (Birch Road and Las Olas Circle) and Fort Lauderdale South Beach Park (700 Seabreeze Boulevard directly across from Bahia Mar). “I also recommend taking advantage of our shuttle system and Water Taxi to get to and from the various locations,” advises Doole. “The Water Taxi is the best way to see it all while taking in Fort Lauderdale’s beautiful city and water views.”
