Tickets to the 2022 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS) are live. The 63rd annual event will take place from October 26th to the 30th, just steps away from the sands of sunny South Florida.

The 2022 FLIBS will take place across seven locations, including the Broward County Convention Center (BCCC) and the Bahia Mar Yachting Center. Guests can expect boating and yachting exhibitions that are set to provide an unforgettable experience during the five-day show. Owned by the Marine Industries Association of South Florida (MIASF) and produced by Informa Markets, this monumental event showcases more world and U.S. debuts than any other boat show in the country.

“We are thrilled to kick off another fantastic event in Fort Lauderdale for our 63rd year,” said Andrew Doole, President of U.S. Boat Shows with Informa Markets, who produces the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show. “Last year’s boat show was an absolute blockbuster event, generating over $1 billion in economic output for the state of Florida and attracting over 100,000 attendees. Year after year, FLIBS has raised the bar for the marine industry, and we cannot wait to welcome back our incredible community to the 2022 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show.”

FLIBS attendees can expect to have an up-close and personal look at this year’s highly-anticipated debuts by the world’s leading boat manufactures such as Axopar Boats, Northstar Boats, MJM Yachts, LEKKER Boats, Islamorada Boatworks, Schaefer Yachts, Invincible Boats, and more.
