The Miami Boat Show is presented as the largest in the world and, in truth, the numbers do not contradict this emblematic event in South Florida that will take place between Wednesday, February 14 and 18 in six different locations.
Created in 1969 by a group of yacht and marine boat enthusiasts in general, it has now become the Discover Boating Miami International Boat Show in which producers from around the world present the latest models and new boat technologies to society. the navegation.
At the Boat Show you can discover everything related to the aquatic world from kayaks to super yachts, including speed boats, engine manufacturers, spare parts, navigation equipment and high technology to get the best out of the water.
For the first time after the pandemic, the gigantic Miami Beach Convention Center will be occupied by a single exhibition and this gives an idea of the magnitude of the Miami International Boat Show, which covers from the smallest and simplest aspects to the most ambitious and luxurious of this activity.
The six stages of the Show
The land portion of the exhibition will be held at the Miami Beach Convention Center and Pride Park. The rest of the exhibition will be in marine settings: Herald Plaza, Venetian Marina, Museum Park Marina and Superyacht Miami at the Yacht Haven Grande Miami.
Every day, the doors to this great show will open at 10 in the morning. On Friday and Saturday they will close at 7 pm and on Sunday at 5 pm Miami’s legendary parties will, however, extend for many more hours.
There is so much to see that a single session or a single scenario is not enough to delve into these aquatic activities. That’s why the organizers have created two-day packages that start at around $70 so that fans can get a broader idea of this exhibition.
