Book Your Front Row Seat to the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show

Every fall, the yachting capital of the world opens its docks. The Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show spreads across nearly 90 acres, drawing over 100,000 attendees and 1,000 exhibitors from 52 countries. It is the largest in-water boat show in the world, with more than 1,300 boats on display from the Intracoastal Waterway to the marinas near Las Olas Boulevard.

At Latitude Key Vacations – Curated Vacation Properties, we offer luxury Fort Lauderdale vacation rentals a short distance from the excitement. Several even come with private dockage for guests bringing their own yachts!

Charting Your Visit: When Is the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show?

The Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show runs for five days from late October into early November. Tickets are sold exclusively online in advance, with no box office on site, and range from single-day general admission to multi-day and VIP passes. 

What Awaits Across 90 Acres of Waterfront

Beyond the yachts themselves, the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show offers a great deal to discover:

– Superyacht Village: An exclusive marina holding the largest vessels of the show. Climb aboard, meet the builders, and browse the latest tenders, water toys, and exotic vehicles.

– The Convention Center: Fishing boats, runabouts, cruisers, marine accessories, and diving gear indoors, plus new boat and product debuts.

– Seminars and Fishing Clinics: Industry experts on conservation, sustainability, and fishing technique, plus kids clinics on the seminar stage.

– Best of Show: Independent judges honor the standout debut models on performance, design, technology, and architecture.

– The Culinary Experience: Menus for every taste and budget, plus satellite bars and floating barges anchored throughout the show.

The Convention Center doubles as the show’s transportation hub, where a network of water taxis, shuttles, and golf carts runs to and from every other location.
