Between the Miami Show and Fort Lauderdale show, the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show has earned its reputation as the world’s largest and most impressive in-water boat show.

The Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS) generates a staggering $1.79 billion in economic impact.

When attending the show, it is important to dress comfortably and appropriately, taking into consideration the weather conditions. Many attendees prefer to dress in a casual and comfortable manner, such as wearing shorts and a tee or opting for casual dresses for women. Another popular choice is linen clothing, known for its lightweight properties.

It is essential to wear comfortable shoes as you will be walking several miles throughout the event. Additionally, if you plan on exploring any boat models, many dealers will require you to remove your shoes before boarding. Opt for slip-on shoes that are easy to put on and take off for added convenience. Don’t forget to pack light and bring a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen to protect yourself during your day out on the docks.

FLIBS attracts a staggering number of boating enthusiasts with over 100,000 attendees flocking to the event.

Positioned in the heart of the Yachting Capital of the World, it is only befitting that FLIBS has gained a reputation for being Florida’s biggest in-water boat show.
