Unveiling the Splendor of the Palm Beach International Boat Show
The Palm Beach International Boat Show (PBIBS) is back and bigger than ever, running from March 19-23, 2025, in beautiful downtown West Palm Beach. With over 1,000 boats on display, including more than 200 superyachts, this year’s show promises an unforgettable experience for marine enthusiasts. Organized by the Marine Industries Association of Palm Beach County, Inc., this annual event attracts over 55,000 visitors and impacts Florida's economy substantially, generating an estimated $1.05 billion statewide.
Why Attend the 2025 PBIBS?
As one of the most anticipated events in the boating calendar, the PBIBS offers a unique opportunity to view an extensive range of vessels from luxury yachts to innovative marine technology. Exhibitors will showcase not only their boats but also new accessories and services, making it a fantastic platform for both buyers and sellers. This year's feature vessel is the striking 114.3-foot yacht Fox by Pendennis, priced at roughly $19.7 million. Enthusiasts may also enjoy meeting industry professionals, brokers, and fellow boating lovers while exploring the latest innovations in the maritime world.
Explore Six Unique Venues
The show spreads across six locations along Flagler Drive, each promising a different experience. From the in-water Superyacht Show at Palm Harbor Marina to luxury accessories on Clematis Street, attendees can immerse themselves in all facets of boating culture. Educational seminars, interactive exhibits, and VIP experiences will enhance your visit, making it the ultimate yacht-centric getaway.

With more than $725 million in total exhibitor sales recorded in previous years, and comparisons showing other South Florida boat shows generating even higher figures, it’s evident that the PBIBS is a vital event for the boating sector and the broader economy. Exhibitors like Off The Hook Yachts will also offer cash buyouts for boats, catering to sellers who want seamless transactions.
