America in the Yachting Calendar Year: The Must-See Boat Shows of the USA

By Emily Dawkins

We take a look at some of the largest and most notable yacht and boat shows in America this year, and why they are worth the visit.

With life slowly returning to a new normal, several boat shows across America are reopening their doors throughout 2022, set to present impressive displays to welcome back the crowds. Renowned for its strong yachting culture, which sees thousands of yachts in its waters each year, America has become a hot-spot for many yacht owners; enticed by the offerings from American shipyards as well as the adventurous yachting lifestyle that the USA presents. As one of the largest markets for superyacht sales, the USA’s leading boat shows are often attended by numerous renowned shipyards, designers, and brokers, providing desirable events for any prospective superyacht owner or yachting enthusiast.

Discover Boating Miami International Boat Show - 16th - 20th February

Last week welcomed the first boat show of the American yachting calendar. This year, the Miami International Boat Show (MIBS) and the Miami Yacht Show were united to become the Discover Boating Miami International Boat Show (DBMIBS): creating one of the largest boat shows in the world. Attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors each year, the event's organisers estimate the show to have generated a combined annual impact of $1.34 billion on South Florida’s economy. 

This year, several large superyachts were exhibited during the four-day show. Most notably, Damen Yachting showcased the 55m Amels 180, Gene Machine, and 55m Yacht Support YS 5009, Gene Chaser, for the first time as a complete fleet. Owned by accomplished DNA sequencing scientist Dr Jonathon Rothberg, the scientific duo was presented stern-to-stern at the exclusive location of the Island Gardens. Lurssen’s 61m Marguerite and Benettis’ 44.2m Il’ Barbetta were also on display, as well as Oceanfast’s 49.9m Thunder, who is currently listed for sale with IYC. With even more planned for 2023, DBMIBS is certainly one to keep in your calendar for next year, already planned to take place from 15th to 19th February 2023.

Palm Beach International Boat Show - 24th - 27th March 

2022 welcomes the 40th anniversary of the second Florida-based boat show, Palm Beach International Boat Show (PBIBS). According to the Marine Industries Association of Palm Beach County, the 2019 PBIBS recorded over 53,000 attendees. With the 2020 show held virtually, and the 2021 show allowing only a limited number of guests, this year is set to be back, and better than ever. 

Showcasing more than $1.2 billion worth of yachts and accessories each year, PBIBS' Safe Harbour Rybovich is due to reveal yachts up to 100 metres in length. Not only a haven for superyacht enthusiasts and potential clients, the show additionally displays a range of sailing boats, fishing boats and lavish pleasure cruisers. With this year's exhibiting superyachts yet to be released, expect to be wowed when the time soon comes.

Newport International Boat Show - 15th - 18th September

Another of America's large boat shows is held on the East Coast in the New England state of Rhode Island. Newport International Boat Show (NIBS) welcomes hundreds of thousands of visitors each year, spanning over an impressive 13 acres of docks and marina. Debuting some of the newest sailboats and powerboats on the US market, NIBS is a must-visit for yachting enthusiasts. 

As a superyacht hotspot, Newport has become the Eastern hub for American yachting fans, with its range of marinas and harbours providing a wealth of yacht facilities and services, as well as extensive waterside entertainment. Nestled between New York and Boston, it is the perfect summer location for yachting, and the NIBS has undoubtedly grown year on year to reflect this. Yet to announce their yachting display line-up, Newport International Boat Show will be taking place from 15th to 18th September 2022.

Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show - 26th - 30th October 

Following record-breaking success for Florida’s economy last year, the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS) will be taking place this autumn from 26th to 30th October 2022. With a $1.79 billion contribution to Florida’s economy in 2021, the Fort Lauderdale show is deservedly recognised as the largest in-water boat show in the world.  

Stretching across 90 acres, including 300 million square feet of exhibiting space, FLIBS has become one of the most prominent international yacht shows. In 2019, the five-day show saw hundreds of thousands of visitors and over 1,300 boats on display, and is only set to grow further in 2022. With the 2021 FLIBS having taken place only months ago, more details of this year’s show are yet to be announced, but we are certain that the line-up will be an impressive one. 

After a turbulent few years, this year’s American Yachting Calendar once again welcomes some of the largest yacht shows in the world, and we cant wait to see what they will bring to 2022.

One of the essential aspects of boat shows is the participation of boat builders who work diligently behind the scenes to bring their creations to life. In this section, we will provide a glimpse into the world of boat show builders and their contributions to these events.

Boat builders are the backbone of the marine industry, responsible for designing and constructing various types of vessels, from luxurious yachts to high-performance powerboats. They use advanced design techniques, cutting-edge technology, and meticulous craftsmanship to create boats that excite and inspire. Their presence at boat shows is crucial because it provides them with an opportunity to showcase their hard work and interact with potential clients, suppliers, and industry experts.

Preparation for boat shows is an elaborate process for boat builders. Months before the event, they carefully select the boats they want to showcase based on factors such as market trends, customer preferences, and the show's target audience. They also engage in extensive communication with event organizers, ensuring that their exhibits meet the guidelines and comply with safety regulations.

During the event, boat builders often host live demonstrations and guided tours of their exhibits, allowing attendees to get up close and personal with the vessels. These interactive sessions are highly informative, as builders share their insights on various aspects of boat design, construction, and performance. Furthermore, it allows them to gather feedback from visitors, which helps them enhance their products and better cater to the needs of the market.

Collaboration between boat builders is also a common aspect of boat shows. Collaborative projects, such as Jimmy Buffett's custom 42 Freeman Cat with a Merritt-built house , showcase the blending of expertise and experience from different builders to create unique, innovative vessels that stir the imagination of attendees.

Participation in boat shows is not only beneficial for the boat builders but also contributes to the overall success of the event.

Worldwide Boat Show Calendar 2023

Article published on 03/02/2023

By Emmanuel van Deth

published in n°188 mar. / apr.

While the big in-water boat shows such as Miami, Cannes or Sydney demonstrated their attractiveness last year by combining a plethoric offer and undeniable interest from the public, things are not the same for the indoor shows, some of which look to be struggling.

Create a notification for "Boat Show"

We will keep you posted on new articles on this subject.

The most striking example is the “Le Nautic” show in Paris. After 61 editions, the 2022 event was an undeniable failure: when the organizers announced 700 boats, our colleagues from Bateaux.com magazine counted just 273, and that included jetskis and kayaks. The future of the Paris show is now so compromised that we will only learn in March if the event will continue or not, and if so, under what format and when. The other major events far from the sea all seem to be experiencing difficulties, to varying degrees. Given that order books remain full, ever larger boats (making them more expensive to transport) and difficulties in sourcing parts, manufacturers are skipping certain events. As for the organizers of indoor shows, they are confronted, especially in Europe, with rising energy costs. In short, the economic context for boat shows is clear-cut, to say the least: everything is going well afloat, and nothing is going well ashore. Another observation at the end of this first post-Covid year: the shows have demonstrated, if it were necessary, that screens and digital displays can do a lot, but not everything. Visitors and professionals alike are keen to exchange ideas in real life aboard their favorite multihulls!

Fort Lauderdale, FL, USA

25 - 29 Oct 2023

By Steven Mandaluff

The largest in-water boat show in the world is set to return to the sunkissed Florida coast when the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS) takes place at the end of October.

Scheduled to run from 25-29 October 2023, FLIBS is spread across seven locations and features six miles of floating docks, showcasing something for everyone at the show.

All conceivable shapes, sizes and styles of yachts are on display from sleek sports yachts to stunning superyachts, and plenty of luxury yacht charters as well.

Around 100,000+ visitors make FLIBS the biggest on-water boat show in the world, and it is one that certainly never fails to deliver.

The main attractions

Annually showcasing around $4billion worth of yachts and nautical merchandise, FLIBS bristles with energy and excitement across its multiple locations, all easily accessible thanks to a seamless transport network.

The Bahia Mar Yachting Centre is the hub of the show, with everything from runabouts and toys and tenders to powerful sportfishing boats on display, but with well in excess of 1,000 exhibitors in attendance that only scrapes the surface. Each location has a different focus, and every year a large number of charter yachts are on show from some of the world’s most esteemed yacht builders.

Everything else

There is almost as much going on off of the water as there is on it at FLIBS and that is saying something! Live music, gourmet food, craft cocktails and endless entertainment are just a few of the side attractions constantly on offer.

For the ultimate in indulgence, the Windward VIP Experience gives access to an exclusive lounge with a prestige menu and open bar. Elsewhere there is a display of supercars, watersports demonstrations, and a host of talks, seminars and expos.

Chartering Florida and FLIBS

Florida is one of the most popular destinations to charter a yacht in the US, and with a buzzing social scene and wall-to-wall sunshine it is easy to understand why.

Located within easy reach of the Bahamas, and other American hotspots like Miami and Key West a yacht charter in Florida is equally suited to families and corporate gatherings.

Monaco Yacht Show: 27 - 30 September 2023

Copyright: Vladimir Drozdin

Press release – April 13, 2023

The Monaco Yacht Show officially announces the dates for its 32nd edition, which will take place from September 27th to 30th, 2023.

Considered the largest annual gathering of superyachts in the world, the event is a must-attend for private owners and new clients seeking a unique immersive experience in the yachting world.

Once again this year, the MYS will continue its three-year development programme "Seducation," with 2023 marking the consolidation of the first cycle.

The "Seducation" programme is an initiative designed in collaboration with the industry and is based on four essential pillars: environmental innovation, design, understanding of yachting, and visitor experience. The MYS organisers aim to make the show a true "ecosystem" of yachting, by promoting environmentally responsible innovation and offering visitors an immersive and educational discovery of the latest and most innovative yachting trends.

The ambitious objective of this programme is to strengthen the MYS's position as the international reference show for the luxury yachting industry, while offering an unforgettable experience to yacht and lifestyle enthusiasts.

Since 2021, the MYS has themed its exhibition, notably with the Yacht Design & Innovation Hub, the Sustainability Hub, the Adventure Area, and the Dockside Area, which allows privileged access to the show's docks for visitors interested in a yacht project.

The show will consolidate its first "Seducation" cycle by unveiling an impressive fleet of 120 superyachts and megayachts available on the market, including the highly anticipated 2023 launches. Visitors will also have the opportunity to discover the latest lifestyle trends on board a yacht, thanks to the exhibition of leading yachting companies. The Dockside Area and Adventure Area will also offer a complete immersion into yachting and related activities.

The MYS will also ensure the participation of driving force companies to present innovative and sustainable solutions in design and sustainability, highlighting eco-responsible technologies while offering an inspiring vision for yacht enthusiasts (Sustainability Hub, Yacht Design & Innovation Hub).

Finally, visitors can attend daytime conferences and receive information dedicated to future yacht clients. They can meet the best experts and most qualified professionals to help them realise their yacht project.

The Monaco Yacht Show strives to promote a unique experience for visitors, while enhancing the positive reputation and development of the yachting industry. An industry that has taken on its social responsibility with a proactive and committed approach for several years in economic, technological, and environmental development to meet current societal challenges.

Sean 'Diddy' Combs allegations: Timeline and what to know

Sean “ Diddy ” Combs has been hit with a wave of civil lawsuits in recent months and is now a subject of a federal investigation, sources have told NBC News.

Federal agents this week executed searches of Combs’ properties , where guns were found, and his phones were seized at an airport as part of a warrant issued from the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, law enforcement sources have said.

Since November, Combs has been hit with five lawsuits in New York accusing him of sexual assault, sexual trafficking and engaging in other criminal activity. Combs has denied all of the allegations, calling them sickening.

A source familiar with the matter told NBC News that at least four people have been interviewed about allegations of sex trafficking, sexual assault and the solicitation and distribution of illegal narcotics and firearms.

Aaron Dyer, an attorney for Combs, described the raids this week as a “gross overuse of military-level force.” Neither Combs nor any of his family members have been arrested, Dyer noted in his statement.

Here are the lawsuits that were filed against Combs prior to the raid. Combs has denied all of the allegations individually through statements by his representatives.

November 2023: Cassie and two others file suit

The singer Cassie, Combs’ former romantic partner, shocked many in November when she filed a civil suit against Combs alleging that the music mogul sexually and physically abused her during the course of their relationship. She filed her case on Nov. 16 under New York state’s Adult Survivors Act, which gave adult victims of sexual violence a one-year window to file civil claims regardless of the statute of limitations.

In the suit, Cassie alleged that Combs raped her, beat her in fits of “uncontrollable rage” and exerted a “tight hold over her life.” She alleged that he would force her to engage in sex acts he called “Freak Offs” with other men, often sex workers whom he’d pay to travel with them, while he watched.

The abuse ranged from 2007 until Cassie left him in late 2018, the suit said.

Combs vehemently denied the allegations from Cassie, whose full name is Casandra Ventura. They settled the suit a day after it was filed.

Joi Dickerson-Neal said Cassie’s lawsuit inspired her to come forward and file a suit against Combs on Nov. 23, a day before the Adult Survivors Act was set to expire.

Dickerson-Neal said that Combs drugged her, sexually assaulted her and recorded the assault without her knowledge while she was a student in 1991. She agreed to have dinner with Combs on Jan. 3, 1991, in Harlem while on winter break from Syracuse University, according to her suit.

It was there that Combs “intentionally drugged” her and then took her to a place where he was staying, the suit said. Dickerson-Neal said she “lacked the physical ability or mental capacity to fend Combs off” as he sexually assaulted her.

She later learned from a male friend that Combs had filmed the assault and showed it to other people, the suit said. Combs denied her allegations.

On the last day of eligibility under the Adult Survivors Act, Liza Gardner filed a lawsuit accusing Combs of sexually assaulting her when she was 16 years old.

Gardner alleged that in either 1990 or 1991 she and a friend met Combs and R&B singer Aaron Hall at an event held by MCA Records in Manhattan. After the party, she was invited back to Hall’s apartment with Combs, the suit said, and the two offered her drinks throughout the night.

Combs then coerced her into having sex, the suit said, leaving Gardner “shocked and traumatized.” Hall barged into the room after Combs was done, pinned her down, and sexually assaulted her, according to the suit.

Hall did not return NBC News’ request for comment on the lawsuit. Combs denied Gardner’s allegations in a statement through his representative.

December 2023: Jane Doe says she was gang-raped at 17

Then in December, a Jane Doe filed a lawsuit alleging that she was gang-raped and sex-trafficked by Combs and Harve Pierre, a former longtime president of Combs’ record label. The unidentified woman said the assault happened in 2003, when she was 17 and Combs was 34.

According to the suit, she met Combs and Pierre at a lounge in Detroit and Combs convinced her to travel with them on a private jet to New York City. Before they left the lounge, the suit said, Pierre smoked crack cocaine and forced Doe to perform oral sex on him.

Doe was taken to a studio in New York City, where Combs, Pierre and a third defendant plied her with “copious amounts of drugs and alcohol,” the suit said. The three men took turns raping her in a bathroom at the studio after she was too inebriated to consent, according to the suit.

The men allegedly left her on the bathroom floor once they were done and she was flown back to Michigan, the suit said. Combs denied the assault allegations and Pierre called the suit “a tale of fiction.”

February 2024: Rodney Jones accuses Combs of ‘RICO enterprise’

In February, a man named Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones alleged in a federal suit that Combs and his associates engaged in “serious illegal activity.”

Jones worked as a producer on Combs’ latest album, but also lived and traveled with him from September 2022 to November 2023, according to his lawsuit. He alleged that during that time he was sexually harassed by Combs, pressured to engage in sexual acts, forced to procure sex workers for Combs and witnessed Combs giving drinks laced with drugs to people at parties.

The suit said that Combs required Jones to “record him constantly,” which resulted in Jones obtaining hours of footage in which Combs and his staff allegedly engaged in criminal conduct. Screenshots of video clips were included in the suit, described as being from parties in which underage girls and sex workers were present.

Jones alleged that Combs was attempting to groom him into having a sexual relationship with him. The lawsuit said that Combs sexually harassed and assaulted Jones while he lived at Combs’ homes in Florida, Los Angeles and New York, as well as on a yacht Combs rented in the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Jones alleged that he and another man, Brendan Paul, were asked to travel with drugs and firearms on Combs’ behalf.

In amended filings, Jones additionally accused Combs and his son of being involved in a 2022 shooting at a Los Angeles recording studio , which both men denied.

An attorney for Combs said Jones’ “reckless name-dropping about events that are pure fiction and simply did not happen is nothing more than a transparent attempt to garner headlines.”

March 2024: Combs’ homes searched by federal agents

On March 25, agents with Homeland Security Investigations raided Combs’ properties in Los Angeles and Miami. Three sources familiar with the matter told NBC News that firearms were found at his residences, but no additional details were provided.

At the time of the raids, Combs was on his way to a scheduled trip to the Bahamas and was stopped at a Miami airport prior to departure. Officials seized his cellphones, sources said.

Dyer, one of Combs’ attorneys, issued a statement following the raids and said that Combs “was never detained but spoke to and cooperated with authorities.” He described the raid as an ambush, saying there’s been a rush to judgment based on “meritless accusations made in civil lawsuits.”

“There has been no finding of criminal or civil liability with any of these allegations,” Dyer said. “Mr. Combs is innocent and will continue to fight every single day to clear his name.”

Brendan Paul, 25, was arrested at the Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport at the same time Combs was stopped at the airport. A law enforcement source familiar with the matter confirmed that Paul is a Combs associate. It is currently unclear whether the arrest was related to the raids.

Paul was named as an employee of Combs’ in Jones’ suit, which described him as someone who acquires and distributes drugs and guns on Combs’ behalf. Combs allegedly required Paul and others he paid to carry black pouches that contained drugs such as ecstasy, cocaine, ketamine, marijuana and mushrooms.

A Miami-Dade police report showed Paul was charged with possession of suspected cocaine and suspected marijuana candy, and court records show he was bonded out of custody the next day.

According to the police report, local law enforcement was with agents from Homeland Security and customs officers at the time of Paul’s arrest. The contraband items were found in Paul’s travel bags, the report said.

Paul’s attorney, Brian Bieber, told NBC News, “We do not plan on trying this case in the media — all issues will be dealt with in Court.” A woman who answered the phone at a number listed for Paul hung up on an NBC News reporter.

April 2024: Combs' son, Christian Combs, is accused of sexual assault

Grace O’Marcaigh  alleges in a lawsuit that Christian Combs drugged and sexually assaulted her while she was working on a yacht the elder Combs had chartered for a trip at the end of 2022. The suit also names Sean Combs as a defendant. The assault is alleged to have occurred days before Sean Combs hosted a New Year’s Eve yacht party with  celebrity guests . O'Marcaigh included as evidence transcriptions of audio clips — that were recorded by a producer — of her denying his advances as he gropes her. NBC News has heard two clips of audio transcribed in the suit purportedly from the night of Dec. 28, 2022, but has not verified who was recorded.

Representatives for Christian and Sean Combs did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

CORRECTION (April 2, 2024, 9:40 a.m. ET): A previous version of this article misspelled the first name of one of Combs’ accusers. She is Joi Dickerson-Neal, not Joie.

Doha Madani is a senior breaking news reporter for NBC News. Pronouns: she/her.

Diana Dasrath is entertainment producer and senior reporter for NBC News covering all platforms.

Andrew Blankstein is an investigative reporter for NBC News. He covers the Western U.S., specializing in crime, courts and homeland security.

2024 March Madness TV schedule: How to watch NCAA Tournament, Final Four announcers, times, live stream

The complete television and streaming schedule for how to watch march madness 2024.

All that's left is the Final Four of the 2024 NCAA Tournament as we inch closer to crowning a national champion in men's college basketball. After starting with 68 teams just 13 days ago on Selection Sunday, only four remain with three games left until a champion is determined.

Though the top eight teams in the nation entering the Big Dance were all still alive entering the Sweet 16 for just the fifth time since the NCAA Tournament expanded to 64 teams in 1985, only two of them remain. On Saturday, No. 1 seed UConn ran through No. 3 seed Illinois on its way to a 77-52 victory, while No. 1 seed Purdue won a hard-fought battle 72-66 over No. 2 seed Tennessee on Sunday.

Joining them in the Final Four is No. 4 seed Alabama, which won 89-82 over football rivalry No. 6 seed Clemson, and No. 11 seed NC State -- the Cinderella of this affair -- after a 76-64 come-from-behind win over ACC rival No. 4 seed Duke.

Veteran Ian Eagle steps in as the lead play-by-play announcer for the Final Four, replacing the legendary Jim Nantz, who stepped away in 2023. Eagle will lead mainstays Bill Raftery, Grant Hill and reporter Tracy Wolfson on the top announcing team.

For the entire 2024 NCAA Tournament, CBS and TBS are leading the way primarily televising 21 games apiece, while truTV and TNT carried 13 and 12, respectively. The Final Four will simulcast across TBS and TNT. You can also watch the final three games of the NCAA Tournament on the  March Madness Live app  and on Max's B/R Sports Add-On.

From the Selection Show all the way until the playing of "One Shining Moment" after a champion is crowned, CBS Sports and TNT Sports will be bringing you the magic.

Let's take a look at the 2024 March Madness announcing teams as well as the remaining schedule for the 2024 NCAA Tournament.
