Live From The Opening Day Of FLIBS 2016

By Oliver Pearson 3 November 2016

Following months of mounting excitement the Fort Lauderdale International Boat show officially got underway today. With a wealth of incredible charter yachts on display, our team were on hand to check out all of the action.

Touching down in Florida early this morning, the team at YachtCharterFleet hurried over to check out the fantastic range of superyachts attending FLIBS 2016. Of course, with the show being spread over seven sites, the tour required some careful planning.

Keen to take a look at the profile that the 84m/274ft motor yacht SAVANNAH cuts in the water, the recent delivery from Feadship was made an immediate priority, followed by a more general look at motor yachts from other world-leading shipyards.

As well as the superyachts on display, a number of exhibiting luxury brands are also on hand for the next few days. Already attracting a great deal of attention from the discerning crowd, the space dedicated to luxury living and marine technology is a veritable hive of activity.

As the largest edition of the largest in-water boat show, the importance of FLIBS 2016 is impossible to overstate. It’s not just a case of ‘bigger is better’, either, with the quality of yachts rivalling that of any other event this year.

Indeed, with SAVANNAH, the ‘motor yacht of the year’, taking centre stage, it’s difficult to imagine the show being any more prestigious.

As well as celebrating the superyachts already out on the water, the show is also hosting a range of exciting premieres. The 49m/161ft motor yacht CHASSEUR from Christensen, for example, is making her international debut.

Similarly, FLIBS 2016 is the first time that the critically acclaimed 63m/205ft motor yacht ‘Party Girl’ from Icon Yachts has gone on display at a show.

Sure to be another memorable edition, this year’s Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show has brought together a simply stunning collection of superyachts
