FLIBS 2026: The Largest Attending Charter Yachts

Now in its 67th edition, the 2026 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show is a key date on the international yachting calendar this year, giving visitors the opportunity to step aboard USA charter yachts as well as explore the wider brokerage market and accessories to complete the ultimate yachting lifestyle package.

Among the charter yachts on the official FLIBS listing this year, Feadship-built ROCK.IT is the largest, followed by a selection of established motor yachts from Trinity Yachts and Christensen. Each offers a different onboard layout and set of features, from dedicated entertainment spaces to wellness facilities and extensive outdoor areas.

Let's take a closer look at the largest charters you can expect to see around the docks.

The largest charter yacht on the official listing, superyacht rental ROCK.IT combines contemporary interiors by Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design with a range of spaces for entertaining.

Guests can move between the skylounge, dedicated movie theater, and several bars with ease, while outside, the expansive sundeck features a Jacuzzi and sunpads. Multiple dining and lounge areas provide options for spending time together or finding a quieter place to relax.

Built by Feadship, ROCK.IT had her latest refit in 2024 and offers indulgent yacht charters in the Bahamas throughout the year.

Following a 2026 refit, luxury yacht charter CARPE DIEM brings an updated Trinity Yachts platform to FLIBS, with interiors by Carol Williamson & Associates.

Her layout includes a full-beam master with a study and two VIP cabins, offering flexibility for different guest groups. Outdoor social areas, a sundeck and Jacuzzi complement her indoor spaces, while her accreditation as an RYA watersports center supports guests looking to make use of the yacht's activities on the water.

One of the largest in the fleet of Christensen charter yachts, superyacht rental SILVER LINING is distinguished by the scale of her interior spaces, including a large, multifunctional skylounge.

Designed by Carol Williamson & Associates and Kimberley Graham, her interiors combine classical detailing with high-gloss black walnut woodwork and stonework. An elevator serves the decks, while the sundeck pairs a bar with a Jacuzzi, creating another gathering space for enjoying the views around Florida.

For guests who value a flexible cabin arrangement and dedicated relaxation facilities, charter yacht NO BAD IDEAS from Trinity Yachts offers six cabins, including three VIP cabins alongside the master and two convertible cabins.

Her onboard amenities include spa facilities, a well-appointed deck Jacuzzi, and an exterior bar, while a firepit adds another option for spending time outdoors after sunset. The combination of indoor and outdoor social spaces gives the motor yacht charter a layout geared toward groups.

Trinity Yachts continues to put on a showcase at FLIBS this year with charter yacht NICOLE EVELYN. Her on-board experience focuses on making the most of the surrounding charter destinations, with a sundeck featuring a bar and plasma screen, while alfresco dining areas allow guests to gather outside for meals.

Inside, the yacht has interiors by Dee Robinson Interiors, with five guest cabins featuring marble en suite bathrooms. Her collection of water toys includes a Jet Ski, SEABOBs, kayaks, wakeboards, and scuba-diving equipment, providing plenty of options for guests who want to spend time in the water during their charter vacation in North America.

The 157ft (47.85m) luxury yacht charter LADY JOY, built by Christensen, is a popular choice for charters in the Caribbean, combining traditional interior styling by Carol Williamson & Associates with a range of spaces for relaxing and entertaining.

Her sundeck features a Jacuzzi and bar, while a more secluded sunning area on the foredeck provides an alternative to the main social spaces. Inside, a piano with a mini studio adds a distinctive feature for music and entertainment.

LADY JOY can also host dockside events for up to 50 guests, giving her more appeal for entertaining family or clients on dedicated event yacht charters.

Opening its doors from 28 October until 1 November, FLIBS is a great chance to gain first-hand looks at the amenities you can expect on a superyacht charter; however, if you can't make the show but want to secure a winter charter in the sun, now is the time to put plans in motion.
