Show Features and Attractions
In-Water Yacht Displays
The Palm Beach International Boat Show is an in-water show, meaning boats are displayed in slips along the waterfront rather than on trailers or stands. This format allows visitors to board vessels, explore interiors, and get a true sense of each boat's size and layout.
The show features boats from leading manufacturers including Viking Yachts, Valhalla Boatworks, Azimut, Sunseeker, Benetti, Ocean Alexander, Tiara Yachts, and hundreds of other brands.
Superyacht Show Palm Beach
The Superyacht Show Palm Beach is a show-within-a-show located at Palm Harbor Marina. This section features luxury superyachts exceeding 100 feet in length. Both General Admission and Windward VIP ticket holders have access to the Superyacht Show.
Marine Equipment Pavilion
The Marine Equipment Pavilion showcases the latest marine electronics, accessories, and technology from industry-leading manufacturers. DRSA exhibits in this section alongside other marine lighting, navigation, and electrical equipment companies.
AquaZone
The AquaZone is a popular attraction featuring live demonstrations of watersports equipment and marine products. Visitors can watch flyboarding, paddleboarding, Hobie kayak demonstrations, Sea Bob diving sleds, Fliteboard electric foil boards, and other watersports technology in action.
AquaZone demonstrations begin one hour after the show opens and conclude one hour before closing each day.
Windward VIP Club
The Windward VIP Club offers premium amenities including a complimentary open bar, gourmet food, and exclusive lounge access. The VIP area is located in the Lakeside Pavilion on Flagler Drive and is open during all show hours.
