Last minute highlights for Palm Beach

Opening its doors to the 2023 edition in just a matter of days, the Palm Beach International Boat Show promises an exciting show with hidden extras around every corner.

Expecting more than 800 yachts, this year's event will showcase enticing debuts from the likes of Princess, Numarine and more, plus opportunities to see new and exclusive attractions around the show.

Aside from the glistening array of motor yachts for sale around the pontoons, Palm Beach is scheduled to host over 800 exhibitors and some unique extras to bring the show together.

Celebrating the 41st edition, Andrew Doole, the President of U.S. Boat Shows with Informa Markets, comments that "this year’s boat show will bring incredible fun and relaxation for the whole family to enjoy."  

Yacht named Honey Fitz berthed at a dock

In the true essence of a yacht show, a debut is on the cards for the hidden extras, albeit on a different scale to others making their worldwide debuts around the docks.

Renowned as a yacht for Presidents, making her debut at Palm Beach this year is the 28m (93ft) wooden yacht Honey Fitz. Still standing at 92 years old, she has been used by five U.S. presidents who were: Harry S. Truman, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard M. Nixon, and John F. Kennedy.

Recently finishing a three-year restoration program, many of the historic elements are still onboard, much of which is still visible. If culture, maritime history and US Presidents are of interest, this is a debut you don't want to miss.
