Palm Beach International Boat Show 2025 Opens Doors on 43rd Edition

The Palm Beach International Boat Show (PBIBS) has officially opened its docks for the 2025 edition, bringing a spectacular fleet of yachts, tenders, and marine innovations to the heart of West Palm Beach.

This year's lineup includes an impressive collection of world debuts, brokerage superyachts, and advanced marine technology. Industry leaders, yacht owners, and enthusiasts from around the world have gathered to explore the latest designs from top shipyards and engage in industry discussions.

Notable World Debuts and Premieres

Palm Beach International Boat Show 2025 is setting the stage for must-see world debuts. With over 1,000 yachts on display, these vessels are making their first-ever public appearance, offering a rare chance to see them up close for the first time. The 52m superyacht Daybreak by Baglietto reimagines open-air living with a three-tiered beach club at the stern and a pool with a movable floor that disappears for extra deck space.

The 62m superyacht Bravissima by Benetti has maintained a low profile since her launch but is now stepping into the spotlight at PBIBS.  With her interior still largely under wraps, this show marks a rare opportunity to get a first glimpse inside. Superyacht Go, a sleek 45m vessel from Tankoa Yachts, is another new arrival drawing attention on the docks. Notably, her main deck pool cleverly disappears beneath a sliding sunpad, while the upper decks feature a hydromassage tub, shaded dining, and a fire pit at the bow.

Two models will also be on display for the first time:

These yachts join a showcase of world-class vessels spanning a wide range of styles, from high-performance sportfishing boats to explorer yachts built for global adventure.

Superyacht Excellence on Display

Beyond the debuts, PBIBS 2025 presents an extraordinary collection of superyachts, with over 200 on display, many exceeding 150 feet. The show’s dedicated Superyacht Village continues to be a hub for some of the most prestigious names in the industry, offering visitors an up-close look at some of the finest yachts available for sale and charter.

Among the largest vessels at this year’s show, the 101m superyacht Attessa IV has already captured attention with her striking presence, while the 85m expedition yacht Bold by SilverYachts exhibits rugged explorer capabilities with ultra-modern interiors. The 78m superyacht Amaryllis is also making an impression with her art deco-inspired design and opulent features.

An Event Steeped in Tradition

Since its inception in 1982, the Palm Beach International Boat Show has evolved from a regional showcase into a globally recognized yachting event.
