The Palm Beach International Boat Show (PBIBS), recognized as one of the top five boat shows in the United States, offers a unique blend of boutique elegance and a remarkable collection of yachting assets, including an ever-expanding lineup of superyachts. Established in 1985, PBIBS has grown into an annual cornerstone of the global yachting community, showcasing nearly $1.2 billion worth of yachts and marine accessories annually. Traditionally hosted in March, this four-day event coincides with favorable weather conditions and marks the grand finale of the international boat show season. Each year, thousands of visitors converge on Flagler Drive in the heart of West Palm Beach, Florida, to immerse themselves in the spectacular displays and exhibits.
Each year, the Palm Beach Boat Show boasts a magnificent array of superyachts available for sale and charter, along with hundreds of other vessels spanning the spectrum from compact 8ft inflatables to powerboats, bowriders, and fishing boats. In 2017, Informa Exhibitions, a London-based company, took the helm as new owners and introduced several enhancements to the Palm Beach event.
These improvements included fresh signage, the addition of brand-new slips, and the introduction of a VIP Experience. VIP pass holders enjoy exclusive privileges, including access to an upscale lounge and a dedicated concierge team.
The VIP Experience also features engaging activities such as fishing seminars, captivating water sports demonstrations, and floating cocktail lounges with live entertainment and refreshments. With a consistently high turnout of thousands of visitors each year, the Palm Beach Boat Show presents an exceptional opportunity for corporate charter attendees looking to network with potential clients and influential figures in the industry.
