As Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS) prepares to celebrate its 64th anniversary, taking place from October 25th to October 29th, the 2023 show promises an unparalleled experience, combining cherished traditions with innovative offerings.
FLIBS stands as an anchor of maritime history, leading the industry as an engine of economic prosperity, and innovation in the world of boating and marine leisure. For over six decades, FLIBS has been an essential gathering for boating enthusiasts, marine industry professionals, and all those with an affinity for the industry.
Since then, FLIBS has evolved into an unrivalled event, historically drawing in over 100,000 attendees and displaying an astonishing array of vessels—from opulent superyachts to cutting-edge personal boats. Throughout its history, FLIBS has played a crucial role in shaping the boating industry, facilitating networking opportunities, and bolstering Fort Lauderdale’s reputation as the ‘Yachting Capital of the World.’
As an international event, FLIBS attracts attendees and exhibitors from all corners of the globe. Its role as a marketplace for buyers and sellers elevates the global marine industry, fostering sales and collaborations. From boat builders to marine equipment manufacturers, the show generates a flurry of economic activity, stimulating industries catering to recreational boating.
Andrew Doole, president of U.S. Boat Shows with Informa Markets, said, “FLIBS 2023 invites attendees to immerse themselves in a sensory voyage, where cutting-edge design, state-of-the-art technology, and sustainable initiatives converge to redefine the future of boating.”
“With a legacy spanning over six decades, FLIBS continues to set new standards for excellence, becoming an unrivalled platform for marine enthusiasts, industry professionals, and luxury aficionados.”
The 2023 edition of FLIBS will be expanding in size, returning to its iconic seven show locations. From the Broward County Convention Center, Bahia Mar Yachting Center and Las Olas Marina to the Hall of Fame Marina, Superyacht Village at Pier 66 South and the Hilton Fort Lauderdale Marina, each site will host thousands of displays of boats and marine products.
Visitors will not want to miss out on the incredible products and activations on display at the Broward County Convention Center. In addition to the unique transportation perks that make the guest experience seamless and enjoyable for all, the convention centre will serve as the FLIBS Transportation Hub, providing over 3,000 parking spots and linking guests to the show’s shuttle and water taxi services that conveniently connect visitors to the seven show sites.
The show’s Superyacht Village, where luxury yachts will be featured, will also offer visitors the chance to marvel at an even more extensive collection of mega yachts and enjoy an enhanced VIP experience.
The Broward County Convention Center will also offer interactive workshops and seminars conducted by industry experts. Attendees can gain insights into enriching their boating experiences under the tutelage of boating, conservation and fishing experts.
