The world's largest in-water international boat show prepares to open its doors once again as FLIBS prepares for its outstanding 2022 edition.
Making its return this October, the 2022 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show is scheduled to run from 26 Oct - 30 Oct and will once again welcome over 100,000 visitors to view the glistening array of yachts and exclusive merchandise.
Posing the ideal opportunity to mingle with yacht enthusiasts, celebrities, industry experts and brokers, FLIBS has always been more than just a boat show and the 2022 edition is definitely going to set the record straight.
Showcasing more than $4 billion worth of nautical equipments and yachts for sale, there's a reason why FLIBS continually attracts thousands of visitors each year.
In addition to an impressive collection of yachts, over 1,200 exhibitors are due to attend the event plus an appealing social calendar running alongside the duration of the four day event.

Featuring more than six miles of floating docks and seven individual locations, there's a lot to see during the iconic four day event.
Movement around the show is easy thanks to the efficient inter-show transportation system, which includes on-land water based modes of transport to get you to every different area of the show.
Each area of the show hosts a different selection of products and superyachts for sale, making each location a must see.
The main locations of the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show are;
- Bahia Mar Yachting Centre
- Las Olas Marina
- Pier 66 Marina
- Hall of Fame Marina
- SuperYacht Village at Pier 66 South
The Superyacht Village
Enduring its inaugural appearance during the 2019 event, the Superyacht Village by Pier 66 has made a phenomenal impact on FLIBS and it continually attracts all the attention it deserves.
Showcasing the biggest and best yachts money can buy, previous shipyards to have displayed in the exclusive exhibit include Lurssen and Heesen.
The premium 3.5 acre attraction is by invitation only, but once inside you can get up close to incredible superyachts which are over 300 feet in length and also view a prestige collection of watertoys and other unique cars, helicopters and private submarines.
Windward VIP Experience
Making its welcome return to the 63rd edition, the Windward VIP Experience is the ideal way to make the most out of the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show.
Including an exclusive premium open bar and catering menu, the private VIP Lounge boasts great views of the show and provides a sanctuary to socialise and finalise any deals with brokers.
Other perks include a two hour entry to the show before it opens to the general public and a host of social events to meet industry experts and of course get up close to some of the biggest names at the show.
