For 2023, the Discover Boating Miami International Boat Show will return once again to provide an unparalleled, world-class display of the yachting industry's biggest and brightest.

Held between the 15th and 19th of February 2023 in Miami's glittering Biscayne Bay, the 2023 edition of the Miami International Boat Show is set to impress the industry yet again. This year is set to welcome over 100,000 attendees, 1,000 exhibitors and brands, and showcase over 1,000 boats throughout the course of the week.

With last year welcoming the first amalgamation of the Miami International Boat Show and the Miami Yacht Show to create the Discover Boating Miami International Boat Show, this year's edition is set to be bigger and even better.

Historically, the Miami International Boat Show and Miami Yacht Show has continued to be a major marine event in Greater Miami and Miami Beach, attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors to South Florida and generating an estimated combined annual economic impact of $1.34 billion.

At the Miami Beach Covention Centre, you'll find vessels up to 49 feet, engine manufacturers, marine accessories, electronics, and retail pavilions. 

The Progressive Boat Show Experience at Pride Park showcases a collection of boating lifestyle activations, entertainment, innovative cuisine and a variety of educational seminars.

However, the main spectacle that cannot be missed is the world-renowned SuperYacht Miami which showcases the largest vessels on display at the show.

Dedicated exclusively to the largest and most opulent yachts, Superyacht Miami provides an unparalleled luxury experience, providing each guest with the unique opportunity to get up close and personal with some of the most luxurious world-class superyachts, including some exciting debuts from around the globe.

Attendees will also be offered the opportunity to experience the ultimate VIP treatment. Visitors can indulge in an exclusive luxury retreat within the show; enjoying unparalleled views of the Miami Skyline, a premium open bar, and a delicious selection of gourmet food. The Windward VIP Experience includes access to the Windward Lounges at Herald Plaza and the Miami Beach Convention Centre.

The experience will also include a VIP Golf Cart Transportation Service provided by ICON Electric Vehicles, to and from the Windward Lounges at Herald Plaza and the Miami Beach Convention Centre.
