The 66th Annual Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS) opens this week, running Wednesday through Sunday, October 29–November 2, 2025. As the world's largest in-water boat show, FLIBS draws more than 100,000 attendees annually and spans seven show locations throughout Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

This year's show is especially noteworthy with the long-awaited reopening of Pier Sixty-Six Hotel & Marina—fully reimagined and ready to serve as a centerpiece of the 2025 show. Pier Sixty-Six Marina will be entirely occupied by FLIBS, while Pier South remains the home of Superyacht Village, now accessible with a general admission ticket.

Across all locations, visitors can expect a dynamic showcase of sportfishers, center consoles, superyachts, marine gear, personal watercraft, and lifestyle exhibits. Interactive programming includes hands-on kids' fishing clinics, educational seminars, and a variety of on-site hospitality experiences. New for 2025 is the enhanced Windward VIP Experience, featuring gourmet cuisine, luxury activations, private lounges, and convenient water-based transportation between show locations.

Transportation and access are streamlined with parking, shuttle service, and water taxis available from the Broward County Convention Center. All tickets must be purchased online in advance at www.flibs.com—no box office is available on-site. One-day general admission starts at $46, with upgraded VIP packages also available.

Whether you're a seasoned boater, an industry professional, or simply love life on the water, FLIBS offers a rare opportunity to explore cutting-edge marine innovation, network with professionals, and experience the best of Fort Lauderdale's waterfront lifestyle.
