PBIBS 2026: Doors Open At The Palm Beach International Boat Show

Expecting a footfall of over 55,000 throughout the duration of the show, the Palm Beach International Boat Show has over 600 brands and exhibitors around the displays, showcasing a range of products to complete any yachting lifestyle package, plus dedicated seminars and clinics to hone skills and learn from some of the best in the business. 

Doubling the offering for 2026, this year's edition has expanded to two locations for educational seminars. The outdoor seminar tent on the lawn by the Meyer Amphitheater is the place to be to learn angling skills, and over at the Superyacht Show Pavilion, there's an exclusive program of talks surrounding sustainability, USA yacht charter opportunities, and other industry-related topics.

Other highlights around the show include the welcome return of the action-packed AquaZone by Nautical Ventures, which offers great insights into what you can expect on a watersports yacht charter, plus ongoing high-flying demonstrations, and a closer look at the latest equipment.

Younger visitors will enjoy the Cox Science Center and Aquarium, while those who admire the finesse and quality of larger yachts will be pleased to know that the Superyacht Show at Palm Harbor has returned!

Currently wearing the crown as the largest attending charter yacht for 2026, 247ft (75.18m) superyacht charter KENSHO adorns the pontoons with her striking blue hull, commanding attention from everyone who passes by.

Though shorter in length compared to 280ft (85.3m) charter yacht BOLD, who wore the crown last year, KENSHO makes quite an impression in the Superyacht Show exhibit, marking not only her show debut, but also her first regional appearance at a US-based boat show. 

Joining KENSHO for their debuts at the Palm Beach International Boat Show, the striking 219.1ft (67m) superyacht rental AMOR A VIDA makes her first appearance following her global debut at the 2025 Antigua Charter Yacht Show, 122.8ft (37.39m) luxury yacht charter AD ASTRA makes her global premiere, and 197ft (60m) yacht rental ENTOURAGE also makes her show debut.

An ideal opportunity to gain first-hand experiences of top-tier yachts and what to expect on a yacht charter in North America, the Palm Beach International Boat Show has something for everyone and is in close proximity to prime embarkation points, perfect for those who want to visit the show and jump straight onto a charter heading for the Bahamas.
