By Nina Done 20 October 2021

Ahead of the 2021 Fort Lauderdale Boat Show (FLIBS), take a look at YachtCharterFleet’s exclusive round-up of the best superyachts available for charter on the official lineup.

Running between 27 - 31 October, FLIBS is back to showcase another fine fleet of yachts across seven show locations in the elite yachting hub of Fort Lauderdale.

Attendees can expect over 1,500 boats on the water. So far, over 90 superyachts have confirmed their attendance, but we can expect that number to rise significantly as more yachts arrive in time for the show.

View our selection of some of the standout superyachts available for charter to see at this year’s show;

279ft (85m) expedition yacht BOLD

Builder: Silver Yachts

Fresh from her appearance at the Monaco Yacht Show 2021, explorer yacht BOLD is the largest yacht in the lineup and will no doubt mark her debut at FLIBS in spectacular fashion.

Explorer yachts are enjoying a renaissance in the yachting industry right now, with many of her contemporaries receiving luxury makeovers to meet the demands of new adventurous yacht owners, who want to explore far-flung destinations, but wish to do so in style.

Sporting an impressive exterior profile courtesy of the illustrious Espen Øino, she cuts a fine figure in the water, where her explorer yacht credentials are clear to see. Her lavish interiors are a world away from her outward utilitarian image, showcasing the kind of understated elegance and luxury, coupled with an array of standout amenities and 6-star service, that you would expect to find on a superyacht.

From the dock, attendees will be able to admire her vast aft deck helipad and inviting top deck swimming pool.

Her crowning sundeck is the convivial hub primed for socialising and entertaining, where show-goers can imagine relaxing with a cocktail from the bar in her stunning Jacuzzi, or on one of the comfortable surrounding loungers.
