- The Palm Beach International Boat Show will feature a wide variety of watercraft, including superyachts and inflatable kayaks.

- Complimentary shuttles will be available for transportation to and from the event for guests arriving from nearby cities.
Back and bigger than ever, the 2025 Palm Beach International Boat Show will be held Wednesday, March 19 to Sunday, March 23 along the beautiful West Palm Beach waterfront.
Featuring practically every type of watercraft imaginable from eight-foot inflatable kayaks, to nearly 300-foot long super yachts, this year’s event has expanded its footprint and will not only occupy the city’s docks and the floating docks organizers construct, but it will even take advantage of nearby Palm Harbor Marina to showcase many of these amazing vessels.
This year will feature 45 yachts measuring 150 feet or longer and 200 superyachts surpassing 80 feet in length. Guests are invited to explore the Superyacht Show Palm Beach which offers a closer look into the world of yachting with expert-led seminars on ownership and chartering.
In the yacht category, the event will feature a mix of sleek and modern as well as some beloved classics like the 71-foot Trumpy.
Among the ultra luxury yachts to look for at the show: the 144-foot Mucho Mas, La Luna at 111 feet, the 130-foot 4*Puppies and the steel-built expedition yacht D’Nice.
The granddaddy of them all, however, will be the super yacht Bold by Silver Yachts stretching the tape at nearly 280 feet.
Looking for something a little more manageable? Check out one of the 345 models by Intrepid Powerboats. Not trying to show off, it measures a healthy 10 feet, eight inches.
In addition to the impressive display of yachts, sportfishing boats and almost every other conceivable form of watercraft, the event will offer a range of experiences. There will be the Kids Fishing Clinic with Capt. Don Dingman, educational seminars with industry experts, the Nautical Ventures Aquazone and much more.
The AquaZone is an exciting attraction designed to give boat visitors an upfront experience with various water sports and marine products. It is open during boat show hours, with demonstrations starting one hour after the show opens and ending an hour before the show closes.
Guest will have no trouble staying well fed and hydrated with dozens of food and beverage options.
If you’re coming from Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton or even from Orlando via Brightline, there will be complimentary shuttles to ferry guests to and from the event.
Guests arriving by car can use the parking garages at Phillips Point at 777 S. Flagler Drive; Esperante Corporate Center at 222 Lakeview Ave.; or the Hibiscus Garage at 545 Hibiscus St. and 713 S. Rosemary Ave. for parking. There will be shuttles running from the garages to the event and back. Additional parking can be found by checking the event’s website under parking & transit.
