Not only is this the biggest boat show in the world every year, it’s a place where growing brands gain unbelieve amounts of exposure with a wide-ranging audience of maritime adventures. It was here we attribute our brand to gaining serious credibility, especially during the show. All the prospective attendees ended up becoming customers of ours. It is safe to say , this was our biggest show to date.

Show Highlights

The sheer variety of boats on display was staggering, with over 1,500 vessels ranging from sleek motorboats and fishing boats to opulent superyachts. The debut of the Majesty 140 yacht was a particular highlight, drawing significant attention with its state-of-the-art design and luxurious amenities. Other notable exhibitors included industry leaders like Benetti, Ferretti, and Viking Yachts, each showcasing their latest models and innovations.

In addition to boats, the show featured a vast array of marine accessories and services. From high-tech navigation systems and high-performance engines to custom interiors and maintenance solutions, every conceivable aspect of boating was covered. The "AquaZone" provided an interactive experience, with demonstrations of the latest water sports equipment and personal watercraft.

Activities

FLIBS is renowned for its hands-on experiences, and this year was no exception. Attendees had the opportunity to test drive boats, participate in on-water activities, and even take guided tours of the yachts. The Kids' Corner was a hit with younger visitors, offering educational and fun activities such as fishing lessons and boat-building workshops.

It was a pleasure being an exhibitor at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show back in October 2023 and we are eagerly looking forward to this year’s show as we love interacting with and growing our customer base. And, of course, talking all things snorkeling and boating!
