Spring brings renewal and new opportunities the world over, and in South Florida, March brings the Palm Beach International Boat Show. Taking place this year from the 19th to the 23rd, it is one of the largest, top-visited nautical events of the season. And shining just across the Intracoastal Waterway is the real experience. As the namesake of the Boat Show, the iconic Town of Palm Beach is synonymous with high style, prestige and cultural influence that has captured the world’s attention like never before. Its Palm Beach Marina celebrates the pinnacle of boating offering state-of-the-art superyacht docks, white-glove service and all the amenities a boater could want.
For yacht owners and those aspiring to own one, the Boat Show is the place to be. Find the vessel of your dreams, or just the right accessories and new innovations to make your seafaring adventures smooth sailing and endlessly fun. While there, for those really in the know and looking to stay for a few days, weeks or even the season, the Palm Beach Marina is the place to dock.
“Our gem of a marina is located in one of the most sought-after communities in South Florida and the world. With the Boat Show in town, it’s a wonderful opportunity to showcase our terrific facilities,” said Carolyn Stone, Deputy Town of Palm Beach Manager. “We love supporting the greater maritime field while offering an exceptional experience to all boaters.”
In addition to the stunning yachts and exclusive lounges, the Palm Beach International Boat Show attendees can enjoy live music, art exhibits, and curated culinary experiences. After exploring the packed event, guests can unwind aboard their yacht if docked at the Palm Beach Marina, located just across the Royal Park Bridge. Offering a serene, private setting, the Marina serves as a peaceful retreat where guests can relax in complete tranquility. For those staying at the Marina, fashionable Palm Beach island is at your fingertips. Discover the world-renowned shopping and dining of Worth Avenue, with its high-end boutiques and award-winning restaurants, or enjoy a wealth of recreational amenities such as access to the oceanfront Par 3 golf course, premier tennis courts, and renovated Recreation Center. And, of course, the sun-kissed beaches are always within reach.
The Palm Beach International Boat Show, owned by the Marine Industries Association of Palm Beach County and produced by Informa Markets, is held annually in downtown West Palm Beach. With over 800 boats on display, ranging from small 8-foot inflatables to luxurious superyachts approaching 300 feet, the five-day event showcases more than $1.2 billion worth of yachts, boats, and marine accessories. Visitors can explore the latest in marine technology and design, enjoy the exclusive Superyacht Show Palm Beach, and participate in various activities, seminars and demonstrations catered to boating enthusiasts of all ages.
