Miami International Boat Show
The World’s Largest On-Water Marine Spectacle & Luxury Yacht Showcase
The Story of Miami International Boat Show
Spanning six interconnected land and water venues, the Discover Boating Miami International Boat Show is the undisputed capital of the global yachting and marine lifestyle industry. Drawing over 100,000 international visitors and generating more than $1 billion in economic output, it features over a thousand vessels ranging from cutting-edge offshore speedboats to world-debut superyachts.
What It Feels Like on the Ground
Sunlight glints across crystal-clear turquoise waters as pristine superyachts line the docks of Herald Plaza and Museum Park Marina. The air smells of salt water, teak wood, and fresh champagne. Maritime brokerage executives in tailored linen suits conduct sea trials along Biscayne Bay, while live music and waterfront cocktail lounges provide an effortlessly elegant nautical backdrop.
