Ticket holders will gain access to the show’s seven locations: Bahia Mar Yachting Center, Las Olas Marina, Hall of Fame Marina, SuperYacht Village at Pier 66 South, Pier 66 Marina, 17th Street Yacht Basin and Broward County Convention Center. The latter will host an impressive array of fishing boats, cruisers, fishing equipment and diving accessories, plus shuttle and water taxi services to get to the other locations.
