One of the top boat shows in the world, the Palm Beach International Boat Show returns for its 45th edition along downtown’s Flagler Drive. Expect more than 50 superyachts and 600 brands spread across the water and the docks — and, by reputation, the calmest of Florida’s big three to actually do business at.
When & where
March 17 – 21, 2027 along Flagler Drive in downtown West Palm Beach, FL. Show hours: Wednesday 12–7, Thursday through Saturday 10–7, and Sunday 10–5.
Why it matters
With 50-plus superyachts and 600 brands on display, this is a serious buyer’s show — brokerage, new builds, tenders, electronics and gear all in one downtown footprint. It carries less frenzy than the largest Florida shows, which means more room to walk the docks, meet brokers and have a real conversation about a deal.
Know before you go
- Wednesday’s noon opening and weekday mornings are the quietest — ideal for serious buyers.
- Book downtown parking ahead or use the show shuttle and water taxi; Flagler Drive gets packed.
- Wear boat shoes for dock walking and bring sun protection for the exposed waterfront.
- Schedule superyacht viewings in advance through your broker to guarantee access.
