The Discover Boating Miami International Boat Show is one of the biggest marine events on the planet, spreading across six waterfront venues. From tenders to superyachts, it’s five days of everything that floats, plus the industry’s newest gear and gadgets.
When & where
February 10 – 14, 2027 in Miami, FL, across six venues: the Miami Beach Convention Center, Pride Park, Herald Plaza, Venetian Marina, Museum Park Marina and SuperYacht Miami at Yacht Haven Grande. Hours run Wednesday–Thursday 10 a.m.–6 p.m., Friday–Saturday 10 a.m.–7 p.m., and Sunday 10 a.m.–5 p.m.
Why it matters
This is where the global yachting industry comes to buy, sell and network, making it essential for owners weighing an upgrade and for crew chasing the next opportunity. Builders debut new models and technology here first, so it’s the best single stop to compare the market. Charter guests can walk the docks and get a feel for the vessels they might one day book.
Know before you go
- The show sprawls across six sites — plan a route and use the water taxis between venues.
- Book crew and dock space months out; February is peak season in Miami.
- Wear comfortable shoes and sun protection for long days on the docks.
- Buy tickets online in advance to skip the gate lines.
