Miami International Boat Show

Miami's the boating capital of the world! With an enviable position on the Intracoastal Waterway and Biscayne Bay, Miami is just a short sail away from the marvelous beauty of the Florida Keys. Our natural affinity toward boating shows each year when we host the Miami International Boat Show.

This year's show will be held February 14-18, 2013 at three venues: the Miami Beach Convention Center, Miamarina at Bayside, and the Sea Isle Marina and Yachting Center. Key features of the event include:

• The Discover Boating Center provides newcomers with all of the information they need to choose a new boat for family fun. It’s staffed by experts who will provide answers to common boating questions and provide you with local resources to get further information.
• Seminars offered throughout the weekend on boating topics.

As with many Miami events, parking can always be a challenge. Valet parking at the Miami Beach convention center is $20. You also might consider other Miami Beach parking options.

You may purchase tickets in advance if you want to avoid lines at the show. General admission on Friday through Monday is $20 for adults aged 16 and over (or $85 for a five-day pass). Admission is free for children 15 and under. Admission to the preview event on Thursday is $35.
