Palm Beach International Boat Show 2025

West Palm Beach, Florida

19 - 23 Mar 2025

By Katie Scott

A mainstay on the annual US yachting calendar, the Palm Beach International Boat Show returns for another superyacht-packed edition adjacent to Flagler Drive.

A prolific event that annually attracts 55,000+ visitors, the Palm Beach International Boat Show (otherwise known as PBIBS) spans five days and brings together many of the leading shipyards to showcase new and current yachts for sale and charter.

Putting on a display of more than 600 brands each year, PBIBS effortlessly provides everything needed for a top-of-the-range yachting package with all the trimmings. If you're looking to be inspired for your next USA yacht charter experience, this is the show for you. Showcasing more than 800 yachts, there's enough to keep you busy throughout the duration of the show. 

Around the show there are ample opportunities to explore the newest models on the market, along with sea trials on selected yachts and guided tours with representatives and brokers.

Attracting big names like Heesen, Feadship, and Sunseeker, visitors to the Palm Beach International Boat Show can expect to see some showstopping displays around the pontoons, with many yards choosing the event to host regional debuts.

Some of the luxury yacht charters attending the show this year include 257.4ft (78.44m) charter yacht AMARYLLIS - currently the largest yacht scheduled to attend, 221.5ft (67.49m) luxury yacht charter LOON, and 213.3ft (65m) superyacht charter ETERNITY.

Attractions at the 2025 Palm Beach International Boat Show

A boat show wouldn't be complete without a compilation of attractions and Palm Beach does not disappoint. For those who want to see the largest attending North America yacht charters, the Superyacht Show Palm Beach exhibit at Palm Harbor Marina is the place to be. Hosting superyachts over 100ft (30.48m), this indulgent showcase is perfect for first-hand experiences of the opulence that luxury yacht charters bring, along with previews of their premium onboard amenities.

In addition to the impressive collection of yachts, the AquaZone is a popular attraction at the event, providing jaw-dropping demonstrations of the latest watersports crazes and new equipment to satisfy every adrenaline-fuelled session on the waves throughout America and the Bahamas.

For something more, Palm Beach also allows visitors to attend a range of seminars and talks that are designed to inform and educate in all areas of the yachting lifestyle. Topics often include sustainability, forthcoming innovations and tips for fishing and yacht maintenance.
