$1.34 billion.
That is the economic impact generated by the Discover Boating Miami International Boat Show — the largest boat and yacht show in the world — as it returns to Miami Beach.
Known as the world’s largest boat and yacht event, this five-day spectacle from February 11–15, 2026, attracts 100,000+ visitors, features 1,000+ boats and exhibiting brands, and delivers a staggering $1.34 billion economic impact to Miami Beach’s vibrant ecosystem. Hotels, restaurants, retail, transportation, and local services all feel the positive ripple effect as attendees — from affluent buyers to marine industry pros — flood the city.
What’s New (and Oh So Miami)
This year marks a major return: after being away for nearly a decade, superyachts are once again floating along Collins Avenue, right in the heart of Miami Beach. It’s a scene straight out of a luxury lifestyle magazine — sleek hulls, polished teak decks, and panoramic ocean backdrops — redefining beachfront spectacle with nautical chic.
Five Venues, One Unforgettable Experience
The show spreads across multiple iconic locations, each with its own vibe:
- Miami Beach Convention Center – The hub for boats under 49 feet and the latest marine tech.
- Pride Park – Outdoor family-friendly experiences and interactive demos.
- Miami Beach Yacht Collection on Collins Ave – Where superyachts make their stylish return to shore.
