Long regarded as a cornerstone of Miami's boating community, the Discover Boating Miami International Boat Show returns Feb. 11-15 with a refreshed footprint designed to make exploring easier and more immersive. Now spanning three connected locations across Miami and Miami Beach, the event is bringing back in-water yacht displays and debuting a dedicated sailing destination.
“As we celebrate 85 years, the 2026 show reflects a return to what makes this event so special while introducing meaningful improvements for today’s audience,” says Andrew Doole, president of U.S. Boat Shows at Informa Markets. “From the iconic return of yachts along Collins Avenue to new exhibits and immersive destinations, this year’s experience is designed to be easier, more engaging and more memorable.”
Visitors can browse thousands of new boats and marine products, step aboard luxury yachts, meet industry experts and experience hands-on demonstrations. The Miami Beach Yacht Collection lines Indian Creek with powerboats and motor yachts ranging from 30 to 125 feet, while Sailor’s Cove at IGY Yacht Haven Grande Miami offers sailboats, catamarans, gear and a full lineup of sailing seminars.
Pride Park features interactive experiences, including the energetic Progressive Experience and AquaZone by Nautical Ventures, a 40,000-gallon freshwater pool showcasing water sports products and live demos. Families can enjoy Kids Fishing Clinics, while boaters of all levels can learn from experts through sessions covering docking, navigation, cruising and more.
“The Discover Boating Miami International Boat Show has always been about inspiring people to get on the water and discover what boating can add to their lives,” says Frank Hugelmeyer, National Marine Manufacturers Association president and CEO. “With its reimagined layout, iconic venues and hands-on experiences … the 2026 show makes it easier than ever for families, first-time visitors and longtime fans alike to experience the boating lifestyle firsthand.”
