Ultimate Guide to the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show 2025: What to Expect
By Tal Fox Amit · Sep 9, 2025 · 3 min read
Everything you need to plan a smooth visit, and a smooth dockage, around the world’s largest in-water boat show.
The Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS) is the largest in-water boat show in the world, drawing hundreds of thousands of visitors and billions of dollars of vessels to the city each fall.
Plan your dockage early
Slips fill up months in advance during show week. If you are bringing a vessel in, secure verified dockage early, demand spikes and last-minute options are scarce.
Make the most of the week
Beyond the show floor, the week is packed with events across the city. A private dock close to the action keeps you out of marina congestion and shuttle lines.
