If your focus is on buying or upgrading your own boat visit one of the many yacht brokers to take a closer look at what’s on offer from the world’s leading manufacturers, both new and previously-owned.
Yachts of note this year include Lurssen’s TV and Martha Ann, the 2 largest vessels on the current line up at 257 feet and 230 feet respectively, being shown by Moran Yacht and IYC – though with over 200 makes and brands on show there is much to view, including the dozen or so always popular Sunseekers from Rick Obey & Associates.

This year organizers will again be providing something for all the family. With free youth fishing clinics run by Hook The Future, IGFA School of Sportfishing seminars, on-the-water boat handling sessions, and long-range cruising clinics, so there is plenty to keep all ages busy.
The beautiful Palm Beach
Away from the show there is much to enjoy in Palm Beach itself. Just over the water from the downtown waterfront head to the 16-mile long barrier island that is Palm Beach, which for over a century has welcomed a select number of residents (and seasonal visitors) to enjoy a luxury retreat and spectacular views.
Here find a base to stay at The Breakers or The Four Seasons, spot Beaux Art mansions that date back to the gilded age, and enjoy the world-class shopping on the iconic Worth Avenue – plus some excellent dining options.
