From the 21st to the 24th of March 2024, the Palm Beach International Boat Show (PBIBS) is set to return: an unforgettable marine lifestyle show that features more than $1.2 billion worth of yachts and accessories. Showcasing everything from spectacular superyachts to breathtaking marine gadgets, this show has something for each and every one of its enthusiastic attendees.

Since 1982, the Palm Beach International Boat Show has occupied a dominant position in South Florida as a leader in the boating and marine industry as well as an economic engine to the community. Located along Flagler Drive in West Palm Beach, the show provides the perfect opportunity to enjoy all aspects of the marine industry, with over 800 boats on display, more than 600 exhibitors and 55,000 attendees.

The Show

PBIBS is an unforgettable event that boasts a plethora of experiences for attendees: from 8-foot inflatable boats to some of the world’s most luxurious superyachts. It is owned by the Marine Industries Association of Palm Beach County and produced by Informa Markets, generating £1.05 billion in economic impact for the state.

Show Features

Whether you wish to gaze at some of the most sought-after superyachts or marvel at some of the latest marine innovations, PBIBS has something for everyone. The world-famous AquaZone is a highlight of the show: an exciting and engaging attraction designed to give attendees an upfront and personal experience with various products, with activations that cater to all ages and adventure-seeking lifestyles.

Throughout the four days, there are a range of seminars on offer to attendees, allowing them to become fully immersed in all-things-marine. This coupled with the unmatched culinary experience highlights the diversity of the show, and how it caters to every single preference.

One of the greatest highlights of PBIBS is the location itself, with Palm Beach being one of the top superyacht destinations on the globe. By day, attendees can immerse themselves in luxury with a trip to Worth Avenue, shopping at some of the most premium stores in the sunshine. Palm Beach is also renowned for its vibrant art scene, reflected in the boat show coinciding with the Palm Beach Modern + Contemporary Art Fair. This is part of Informa Markets’ Art Miami Division, and is something Windward VIP attendees will have access to.

By night, indulge in some of the exquisite dining opportunities of Palm Beach, with a range of cuisines available for visitors. Perhaps enjoy some decadent Italian food at Bice or visit Le Bilboquet to enjoy an atmosphere reminiscent of the South of France. Whatever your preference, Palm Beach will deliver an array of incredible options.
