Owned by the Marine Industries Association of Palm Beach and produced by Informa Markets, the highly anticipated annual event garners an estimated statewide economic impact exceeding $1.05 billion. With over 55,000 visitors in attendance, the luxury experience and vast assortment of activities generate over $725 million in total sales with an exceptional showcase year after year.
Building from the rich tapestry of its previous editions, the 2024 Palm Beach International Boat Show will continue to offer immersive and remarkable boating experiences for marine enthusiasts, industry experts, local residents, and visitors alike. This year marks the 42nd showcase in downtown West Palm Beach from March 21st to 24th.
