This year I was able to actually attend the Miami International Boat Show aka “DBMIBS” as my company didn’t have a display. Scott and I attended on Saturday and we visited three of the displays, including the in-water yacht show at Herald Plaza, the sailboat display and the convention center.

Cool New Products!
How cute are these Fiat boats? Could you imagine Scott and I cruising the New River in one of these and how people would react? They come in a variety of colors and start at about $122k.
Inside the convention center we came upon an electric outboard by Acel that can really get up to speed.
Need to get somewhere fast? Well six Mercury 600 Verados will help you get there!
Sailing Boat Display
From the power boat display, Scott and I took the water taxi over to the sailboat display. This is a single dock display and as a result, it was pretty crowded. We did get to tour a Dufour sailboat, which we’ll share in a few weeks.
Upcoming Boat Tours
Scott and I toured five yachts and we’ll be bringing those tours to you over the next few weeks. Our next show will the the Palm Beach International Boat Show and unfortunately I have to work this show, as we (26 North Yachts) will have two displays.
We are also headed up to Charleston, SC and we are excited to visit this city for the first time. Be sure to tune in to follow along our journey.
