Who should skip it
You are not in the market and do not like crowds in a hall. This is a trade show at heart, and the boats are the entire content.
The move
Wednesday is noon to 7pm, costs more, and is the trade-adjacent day. Thursday to Sunday is cheaper and longer if you just want to walk the docks.
Getting there
It moved back to Miami Beach for the 2026 edition after years at Miami Marine Stadium on Virginia Key. Any listing still sending you to Virginia Key is out of date.
One thing worth knowing
The 2026 show carried more than a thousand boats and over a thousand exhibiting brands, with organisers projecting around a billion dollars of regional impact.
