The Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show opened Wednesday, Oct. 28, with Preview Day running from noon to 7 p.m. Visitors can see more than 1,300 boats and 1,000 exhibiting brands spread across six waterfront venues.
Organizers are promoting new boat debuts and the latest marine technology. The show bills itself as the world’s largest in-water boat show, a claim the Visit Lauderdale post repeats in its welcome to the “Venice of America.”
Tickets are available through flibs.com, the show’s official website. For Broward residents, the show is one of the biggest annual events on the city’s waterfront calendar, and the traffic and parking around the venues are likely to be busy during the opening days.
