Miami is a dream for boaters. With a sandy Atlantic coastline and large, open bays, it is the ideal setting for those who love getting on the water. Miami’s warm weather fills the city’s harbors and marinas with boats throughout the year. Boaters flock to Miami year-round, but one event draws their interest like no other. The Discover Boating Miami International Boat Show is the world’s largest boat and yacht show, and this February, it is returning for another jam-packed showcase.
The Miami International Boat Show consistently draws in huge crowds. This is an ideal time and place for boat lovers to do their 2023 boat shopping, where they can compare prices and shop from a diverse array of incredible brands at one single massive event. More than 1,000 exhibiting brands will attend, showcasing everything from boats and water sports equipment to safety devices and fishing gear.
