This year’s Palm Beach International Boat Show, which starts Thursday and runs through Sunday, will feature a plethora of superyachts, battery-powered watercraft and even an “eco-conscious” yacht with no leathers or plastic beverage bottles allowed. You won’t find any vessels owned by Russian oligarchs however.
The show, which will run through Sunday in downtown West Palm Beach, will kick off amid a continued strong surge of boat sales and consumer interest despite the storm clouds of inflation and war in Europe.
The show, which is owned by the Marine Industries Association of Palm Beach Inc. and produced by Informa Markets, will play host to 475 exhibits, 372 boats and 22 seminars on a variety of marine topics, according to the show website. It will be the second year of a COVID-19-era rebound for the show, which went virtual in 2020 when the economy was locked down, but returned to a live presentation in 2021.
