Set along Fort Lauderdale’s glittering Intracoastal, the 66th Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS) returns from October 29 to November 2, 2025, uniting the global yachting community across seven show sites. Marking both the fair’s 66th edition and the grand reopening of the iconic Pier Sixty-Six Hotel & Marina, this year’s FLIBS showcases more than 1,300 vessels—from cutting-edge explorers and sustainable catamarans to some of the world’s most impressive superyachts.
The reborn Pier Sixty-Six, with its Superyacht Village and fully occupied marina, anchors a city-wide celebration of craftsmanship, innovation, and nautical heritage. Beyond the docks, visitors experience waterfront lounges, design talks, and the elevated Windward VIP Experience, where fine dining, mixology, and luxury brand activations create a resort-like atmosphere.
Generating an estimated $1.78 billion in annual economic impact, FLIBS stands as both an international marketplace and a cultural ritual—where shipyards, designers, owners, and aficionados converge to define the future of life on the water.
