Discover Boating At The Miami International Boat Show 2023

 
This time of year is so much fun, it seems like every day there is a different event to attend and this week we are excited to be at the Discover Boating Show. This is the new revival of the Miami International Boat Show that is now coupled with the Miami Yacht Show. On this week, shoppers and revelers alike are able to browse a host of nautical toys from across the spectrum. Over multiple locations throughout Miami and Miami Beach, everything from kayaks to super yachts are available.

For the 2023 show, Douglas Elliman is proud to be a sponsor of the Windward VIP tent. The VIP tickets include access to all locations of the show plus a Water Taxi to shuttle you to the different locations as well as a ticket to Art Wynwood, which happens to be occurring in the same week. The Windward Lounge is located at Herald Plaza, which is where we intend to spend the majority of our time.

For an immersive experience, we do encourage visitors to visit the Progressive Experience in Pride Park, adjacent to the Miami Beach Convention Center. Here you will find a carnival boardwalk area mixed with an old port town. You can play the claw machine and win nautically-themed prizes, sing along with Marina (a half fish/half Wave Runner) or catch the Captain and his Mate. It is all very fun and on-brand.

There are many culinary experiences set up for the events. You can soak up the beautiful Miami views with DBMIBS-themed bites and innovative cocktails from show partners (including Budweiser, Goslings, Tanqueray, Ketel One and Crown Royal).

If you have a competitive streak, a sport fishing championship is on the agenda and a learning center is available with all sorts of seminars. You can learn to make repairs to your boat, as well as different free tips for maximizing the salt life.

For the eco-friendly mariner, there is an entire section of new electric-powered boats and water toys. Dr. Amy C. Hirons, Director, Charismatic Megafauna and Oceanography Laboratory (CMOL) at Nova Southeastern University is heading up a new sustainability study with manatees. Nova Southeastern students will be on hand throughout the week, logging manatees seen in the subtropical waters surrounding the show. The data gathered will help to maintain or change necessary no-wake zones and speed limits so that we can enjoy our time on the water without harming our gentle giants.

Once you have finished the good deeds and learning, head over to SuperYacht Miami. This exclusive marina showcases the most luxurious vessels available. In this portion of the show, you can tour the boats with brokers, visit with nautical designers for customized interiors and meet world-renowned yacht builders to plan you next project.

During the evening visit Yachts After Dark, another tour of world-class superyachts in an after-hours setting. There will be music, cocktails, bites all with the showcased boats illuminating into the depths below the Miami skyline.

The Windward VIP lounge is available for a step away from the business at the marinas. Complimentary golf carts are available to shuttle ticketholders between exhibitions, private restroom facilities, luxury sponsorship activations, gourmet food and premium libations are available at One Herald Plaza as well as the Miami Beach Convention Center. If you are interested in a waterfront home for your new boat, Douglas Elliman brokers will be on hand to help you browse the pages of the Elliman Portfolio in a private lounge.
