Miami, FL
The 85th Discover Boating Miami International Boat Show returns to South Florida from February 11–15, bringing five days of on-water and on-land programming to Miami Beach and Downtown. Owned by NMMA and IYBA, and produced by Informa Markets, the event remains one of the world’s largest showcases for boats and marine products—drawing everyone from serious buyers and brokers to design-minded visitors interested in what’s next in marine innovation.
A major headline for 2026 is a footprint designed to feel more connected and navigable. Organizers describe the show as returning with three primary locations and a more intuitive layout, anchored by the Miami Beach Convention Center and Pride Park, then extending to a new Miami Beach yacht corridor and a dedicated sailing destination.
Most notably, 2026 marks the debut of the Miami Beach Yacht Collection on Collins Avenue as the show’s in-water yacht display location. In practical terms, that means yachts returning to a high-visibility Miami Beach waterfront setting—and for the first time since 2018, yachts will once again line the Indian Creek stretch along Collins.

Programming and inventory are organized by category across the show’s locations. The Miami Beach Convention Center and Pride Park function as the central hub, featuring boats (including debuts) up to 49 feet alongside engines, accessories, electronics, retail, and interactive experiences, with Pride Park positioned as an adjacent extension of that activity. The Miami Beach Yacht Collection becomes the waterfront home for powerboats and motor yachts—generally spanning the 30- to 125-foot range—along with yacht tenders and premium retail elements. Downtown, Superyacht Miami and Sailor’s Cove at IGY Yacht Haven Grande add a marina setting focused on superyachts, brokerage vessels, and a dedicated sailing/catamaran presence, reinforcing the show’s push to make sailing its own destination rather than an afterthought.
From an attendee standpoint, the show emphasizes that one ticket provides access to all show locations, with transportation links designed to make moving between sites easier. Tickets and official updates are available via MiamiBoatShow.com.
