FLIBS closes its doors on successful 63rd edition

Closing down on a vibrant 2022 edition, FLIBS celebrates another year of success and already looks to 2023.

The dates for the 2023 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show are 25-29 October 2023 and current indications suggest that the next edition is to include some changes.

Closing out on an event that has been dubbed 'a complete success' by organizers Informa Markets, the show attracted huge crowds to seven of Fort Lauderdale's most captivating venues including; the Broward County Convention Center, the Bahia Mar Yachting Center, and the Pier 66 Marina. 

Generating more than $1.79 billion for the local economy, the 2022 edition has met and raised the bar on the event's undoubted influence on tourism for Fort Lauderdale.
