Ft. Lauderdale International Boat Show: See the Boats – Meet the Captains

FLIBS map

The map above shows the primary in-water venue for the Ft. Lauderdale International Boat Show, October 29 – November 2, which is located at the Bahia Mar Hotel and Marina. This is the primary location, but there are others: the Ft. Lauderdale Convention Center has many of the smaller boats, and Pier 66 is the venue for the Superyachts.

We invite any BoatTEST Members who will be visiting the show to meet our captains who will be inspecting the latest boats from the builders listed below. Just fill out a form and let us know which brands you’d like to visit and meet our captains.
