The world’s largest in-water boating extravaganza, this year’s Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show—that’s FLIBS for short—opens its doors Wednesday, October 25 for a five-day run. It will have seven venues with more than 1,300 boats on display. The total number of boats, marine products and services represent more than 1,000 brands from 52 countries.

Last year, more than 100,000 people visited the show, with about half coming from outside Florida. Many yacht aficionados consider it the most enjoyable show on the international boat-show circuit, because of the sheer range of vessel types and owners—from twenty-something-foot fishing boats in the convention center to the massive 200-plus-foot superyachts at the Bahia Mar. The numbers of new yachts from Europe, Asia and South America also grow each year. Unlike other shows, there is a vessel for every boater profile at FLIBS.

Changes to this year’s show include an expanded Superyacht Village with more superyachts than ever, plus the addition of a new Designers’ Pavilion featuring many of the world’s top yacht design studios.

Looking for a new supercar to go with your superyacht? The new “Car Exhibition at the Hall of Fame Marina” showcases the latest in exotic machinery.

Of course, the show is fundamentally about what floats your boat. Here are 11 showstoppers you shouldn’t miss.

Lürssen ‘Marguerite’

Looking to escape the madding crowd? The 201-foot, Lürssen Marguerite is designed to go off the grid for up to 30 days. The vessel also a 7,700-nautical-mile range at a friendly cruise speed. Launched in 2004 as Avanti , and then renamed Phoenix , the yacht was christened Marguerite after an ownership change in 2021. Designed by U.K.-based Andrew Winch, one of the yacht’s many highlights includes a self-contained, two-story owner’s apartment on the main and upper decks, complete with an observation lounge, a private outdoor retreat on the foredeck, and a floating staircase to a private office. Capable of carrying a Bell Jet Ranger on the foredeck, the helicopter deck also doubles as a party place with sun lounges and a 10-person hot tub. Marguerite is listed with Moran Yacht & Ship for $48 million.

Viareggio Superyachts ‘Atomic’

Launched in 2020, the 209-foot Atomic includes one of the best onboard dive centers of any superyacht to accommodate owner Dan Huish’s passion for scuba. With a fold-down, sea-level terrace and specialized storage for dozens wet suits and dive tanks, the yacht was also designed to explore the world’s most remote dive spots. A state-of-the-art dynamic positioning system can keep Atomic in one place without having to drop anchor hook possibly damage the seabed. Designed by Espen Øino International and built in Italy by Viareggio Superyachts, this steel-and-aluminum superyacht was designed to travel the world. The boat has a 5,300-nautical-mile range at 12 knots, but the twin 2,680 hp Caterpillar diesels deliver a 17-knot top speed. Atomic is listed with IYC for $63 million.

Icon ‘Party Girl’

This sleek 205-foot superyacht from the Dutch builder Icon is all about having fun. As a successful charter yacht—it rents for up to $490,000 a week—the vessel (and its 12 guests) has a small armada of water toys at their disposal, including a trio of Yamaha WaveRunners, seabobs, a wakeboard, a kayak, and an oversized water slide, plus no fewer than four tenders. Reportedly owned by Pet Supermarkets founder Charles West, Party Girl also has the legs to party at the end of the world, courtesy of its 6,000 nautical-mile range. Launched in 2013 as Meridian and heavily updated in 2019, superyacht has distinctive lines from the drawing board of the U.K. studio RWD, with interior design by Cristiano Gatto. One of the many highlights includes a salon that stretches over 55 feet and includes a formal dining area with seating for 14. Party Girl is listed with Merle Wood & Associates for $52.5 million.

Tankoa ‘Casino Royale’

Likely to be the biggest superyacht at FLIBS, the headlining 236-foot Casino Royale is making an appearance in Fort Lauderdale to showcase the workmanship of its Italian builder, Tankoa Yachts. Launched as Solo in 2018, reportedly for billionaire Italian media mogul Carlo de Benedetti, the yacht defines Italian style and opulence. One of its most spectacular features is its full-deck owner’s apartment, with doors leading out on to a helipad allowing the owner to step straight out of the helicopter and into his suite. That, and a dining room with a huge aquarium engineered not to ripple the water even while the yacht is under way. After an extensive refit in 2021/22 that included a switch from stark white paint to a rich copper color, Solo was put on the market and sold in May this year when the name was changed to Casino Royale . The last asking price was €66 million ($68 million).

Azimut Magellano 60

Fresh from its global debut at the September Cannes boat show, Azimut’s lovely, fast trawler-esque Magellano 60 will make the trip to FLIBS for its US premiere. From the drawing board of designer Ken Freivokh, who also penned the 60’s larger sisterships, it features the same trademark teak strakes on the cockpit sides, the same vertical bow, and versatile foredeck for sunning and socializing. Power from twin 730 hp MAN diesels with shaft drives deliver a 24-knot top speed with relaxed cruising at 18. Below-decks are three spacious cabins, with the full-beam master located amidships. In addition to the Magellano 60, Azimut is also doing the U.S. launch of its new outboard-powered Verve 48 with triple Mercury V12 600s at FLIBS, along with the updated Grand 36M and S7 models. The Magellano 60 is priced around $2.8 million.

Baglietto ‘Blue Ice’

Paint big numbers on the hull and this Italian stallion from famed builder Baglietto could easily be mistaken for some stealthy navy patrol vessel— especially with that head-turning, forward-position wheelhouse. Even the top deck funnel has the menacing look of an anti-aircraft gun installation. The black hull and battleship-gray superstructure only add to the yacht’s don’t-mess-with-me appearance. And like any good gunboat, the vessel is fast. Twin 2,200 hp MTU engines, coupled with a skinny five-foot draft and lightweight aluminum construction, provide an impressive 28-knot top speed. Delivered in 1999 and extensively re-fitted in 2016, the minimalist Aldo Cichero interior offers accommodations for up to 10 in four staterooms. Blue Ice has a $4.29 million asking price with FGI Yachts.

Gulf Craft Majesty 111

Talk about a world traveler. Emirates-based Gulf Craft debuted its brand-new Majesty 111 superyacht at the Dubai boat show last April. Then it was off to the Monaco Yacht Show last month, where it picked up a “Best Interior Design” award. Now it’s making its U.S. appearance at FLIBS. Designed in collaboration with Dutch studio Phathom, the 110-footer is filled with floor-to-ceiling glass in its expansive salon. It also has five cabins below-decks, plus a spacious main-deck master suite with a skylight that looks up into the foredeck plunge pool. The yacht is also surprisingly quick, with a pair of MAN V-12 diesels that deliver a top speed of 20 knots. With a draft of five and a half feet, the vessel is ideal for the often-shallow waters of the Bahamas. The price is around $12 million. 

Cigarette Racing 52 Thunder

If there’s the rumble of thunder around the FLIBS docks this year, it won’t necessarily be South Florida weather. It’ll come from the latest speed demon from Miami’s Cigarette Racing and its jaw-dropping new 52 Thunder Center Console. Slotting into the Cigarette lineup between the 42-foot Auroris and 59-foot Tirranna , this new Thunder lives up to it name courtesy of its six, Mercury Racing 500R V-8 outboards. That adds up to a staggering 3,000 hp. Top speed? That would be in excess of 80 knots. Styled in collaboration with Italian designer Giorgio Cassetta, the Thunder combines speed with comfort, thanks to its multitude of flashy, red-trimmed leather-upholstered seating and spacious air-conditioned cabin. The 52’s 14-foot beam ensures plenty of walkaround space, with the rear cockpit making a great access point to the water, or an under-the-stars dance floor. Base price is $3.1 million.

Aquila 47 Molokai

Florida-based Aquila is debuting its new 47 Molokai , aiming at the big-game offshore fishing market. The big brother to the Molokai 28, this battlewagon features double-stepped hulls and a raised tunnel between the twin hulls that combine to minimize pounding in big seas. With a 14-foot, seven-inch beam, the yacht offers exceptional space and a rock-solid platform for offshore trolling. When the family is along for the ride, the accommodations include foredeck lounges and a stylish, air-conditioned stateroom below with an island queen bed, with separate head and shower. Outboard choices range from twin 600 hp Mercury V-12s, or a quartet of new 400 hp Mercury V-10s, each giving a 50-knot-plus top speed. At a friendly cruise speed, the 1,048-gallon tanks should give a range of up to 800 nautical miles. Pricing to be announced at the show.

Princess Y95

Talk about prolific. Britain’s Princess Yachts has debuted brand-new models at recent European boat shows—the all-new S72 was one of the stars of last month’s Southampton show, while the new Y80 was a show-stopper at Cannes. Neither will be making a grand entrance at this year’s FLIBS, with the builder choosing instead to give the first U.S. airings to its Y95 and X80 mini superyachts. The Y95 is the headliner here, with its combination of luxury and performance. Powered by a pair of 2,000 hp MAN V-12s, this 95-footer can hit a top speed of 24 knots. The Y95 looks sleek and stylish with its near bow-to-stern hull windows and the hardtop that looks like it’s floating atop the yacht. Pricing starts at around $16 million.

Riviera 585 SUV

The 585 SUV is the latest addition to Riviera’s five-model SUV line-up. Strong points include its roomy and protected aft cockpit, its foredeck lounge area and three-stateroom layout (including a full-width owner’s suite.) It’s also a yacht full of innovative design touches and an impressive level of craftsmanship. Standard power is a pair of 900 hp Volvo D13 diesels mated to IPS drives, with the option of 1,000 hp versions. Top speed with the bigger engines is 35 knots, with a 400-nautical-mile range at 21 knots. Pricing is about $3.6 million.

Best yachts to see at FLIBS 2022 Superyacht Village

• Share this on Facebook
• Share this on X
• Share via Email

By Nina Done   28 October 2022

The Superyacht Village at Pier 66 Hotel & Marina is the place to check out some of the biggest yachts at the  Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS) 2022 , which is easily accessed via water taxi. 

Located adjacent to the 17th Street Causeway Bridge on the Stranahan River, the elegant waterfront location has the capacity to host superyachts of up to 400ft (121m), as well as dedicated on-land exhibition space for some of the biggest names in the industry, covering a total of 3.5 acres. 

How do I get to the Superyacht Village at FLIBS 2022?

To get to the Superyacht Village at FLIBS 2022, you can take a water taxi from the main show at Bahia Mar. Take the yellow water taxi to the third stop at Pier 66, which is where the Superyacht Village is located. The journey across the intracoastal waterway will take approximately 10 minutes. 

A large selection of yachts are expected to be on display at the Superyacht Village and its immediate vicinity. We've compiled a round-up of some of the must-see yachts in the Superyacht Village at FLIBS 2022.

238ft (73m) superyacht CORAL OCEAN

Builder: lürssen.

As the largest yacht marking her debut at the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show, motor yacht CORAL OCEAN is one not to miss. One of Lürssen 's original leading ladies, she boasts a sleek white exterior – courtesy of British design studio Bannenberg & Rowell in collaboration with the esteemed yacht builder – and features a wealth of amenities.

2022 has seen her undergo a transformative refit, and visitors to the show will be able to witness her impressive new features in person, including an entirely rebuilt sundeck that now plays host to a glass-bottomed spa pool, state-of-the-art sound system, in-built electric skylight and retractable 85-inch TV.  

The superyacht's interior styling now showcases a neutral scheme with subtle ocean-inspired accents and geometric motifs throughout, with a raft of luxury amenities from her spa and gymnasium to a convertible movie theater.

164ft (50m) yacht OCEAN Z

Builder: heesen.

Alongside CORAL OCEAN is the brand new Heesen yacht OCEAN Z , currently wowing onlookers with her sports car-inspired flowing exterior lines and luxurious Reymond Langton interiors. 

Launched in 2022, lucky visitors will get the chance to see her vast array of amenities up-close, including her generous beach club, light-filled salon and convivial top deck featuring an elevated Jacuzzi overlooking show-goers milling past in the Superyacht Village.

164ft (50m) yacht MAVERICK

Builder: overmarine.

Berthed right behind OCEAN Z is Overmarine ’s latest offering, the 164ft (50m) Mangusta Ocean 50 yacht MAVERICK . Originally christened Project Verona, she’s already turning heads at the show thanks to her sleek hull and rakish good looks, and is sure to attract attention on the dock.

Delivered in 2022, Italian designer Alberto Mancini teamed up with the shipyard's technical and interiors departments to oversee the design brief “to embody the feel of a Miami villa” for its Florida -based owner. The overall effect is striking and has all the features you would expect on a superyacht of this caliber, including a luxurious beach club connected by 3 sea terraces, large infinity pool and expansive master stateroom with a private balcony.

181ft (55m) support vessel AXIS

Builder: damen yachting.

Show-goers will also spot the impressive 181ft (55m) Damen support yacht AXIS (ex-Fast & Furious), which is usually found berthed in the marina on Walker’s Cay in the Bahamas , alongside the 164ft superyacht GIGI as part of a flotilla of vessels for the American entrepreneur and keen diver Carl Allen. 

On display at the Superyacht Village opposite MAVERICK, yacht AXIS will be showing off her slew of standout amenities including a certified helideck, Triton 3300 submarine and state-of-the-art dive center, aptly demonstrating the many advantages of a yacht support vessel. She also comes equipped with an array of cabins for staff, as well as a number of tenders and water toys.

134ft (41m) motor yacht SEASCAPE

Builder: benetti.

A picture of elegance and grace, the brand new 134ft (41m) Benetti superyacht SEASCAPE is berthed opposite the Superyacht Village bar and restaurant, offering patrons waterside views of her cascading aft deck feature, culminating in the luxury pool and sea terrace that is synonymous with Benett i’s hugely successful Oasis 40M series. 

This will be the world debut for luxury yacht SEASCAPE, and she is sure to attract plenty of attention in Fort Lauderdale. Launched only this summer, she has made the transatlantic passage to the USA and is now berthed at the Superyacht Village ready for visitors. 

Those lucky enough to step aboard at the show can expect refined and contemporary interiors, a lavish owner's suite and trove of entertainment and relaxation areas. 

180ft (55m) luxury yacht LADY JJ

On the other side of the 17th Street Causeway and Bridge, motor yacht LADY JJ is on display in all her glory. 

She joined the charter fleet late last year and has already proven a big hit. From the dock, attendees will be able to admire her curvaceous exterior and vast beach club. Stepping on board, her beautiful Frank Laupman-interiors are bound to impress show-goers, featuring polished maple and touches of luxurious gold onyx and a variety of rich marbles.

On board highlights include a dedicated spa and gymnasium, mosaic-tiled Jacuzzi and spacious, circular master stateroom featuring side balconies, floor-to-ceiling windows and a private study.

For more information, you can view the complete superyacht lineup at FLIBS 2022 .

New Yachts to See at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show

• By Yachting Staff
• October 23, 2023

The Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show is America’s biggest annual event featuring new and brokerage yachts, with more than 100,000 visitors and more than 1,300 boats on display. This year’s show, which is scheduled to run Oct. 25-29 in southeast Florida, promises new models from top builders all around the world, including Benetti, Azimut, Wally, Princess , Sirena, Sunseeker , Galeon, Maritimo, Riviera, Sunreef, Aquila, Ocean Alexander and Viking.

Article At-A-Glance

• The 2023 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show will be held Oct. 25-29.
• More than 100,000 visitors are expected to attend FLIBS in 2023.
• More than 1,300 boats are typically on display for attendees to check out.
• Some yacht-builders with new-for-2023 models include Benetti, Azimut, Wally, Princess, Sirena, Sunseeker, Galeon, Sunreef, Maritimo, Aquila, Viking, Ocean Alexander and Rivera.

New Yachts from European Builders

Benetti and Azimut will be bringing their Italian-built yachts to the 2023 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, while the Ferretti Group’s Wally brand will be present with its Monaco-based flair. Benetti will display the 112-foot Oasis 34M Ubiquitous, while Azimut will be showing four models in the United States for the first time, and Wally will be featuring the wallywhy150 .

Benetti Oasis 34M Ubiquitous

The Benetti Oasis 34M Ubiquitous is scheduled to make its US debut at the 2023 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show. This is a 112-foot fiberglass motoryacht with exteriors by RWD in Britain and interiors by the New York firm Bonetti & Kozerski. The stern on Ubiquitous has Benetti’s Oasis Deck, which includes two wings that open to enlarge the space. An infinity pool is here as well, and the space adjoins the main-deck salon to give guests the option of sun-drenched or shaded spaces for relaxation.

Also at the show: Benetti will showcase the B.Yond 37M Never Say Never Again. It’s a 121-foot motoryacht from architect Stefano Righini with an E-Mode Hybrid system from Siemens Energy. The idea is to reduce harmful emissions while giving owners the option of four operating modes, including a fully electric mode for zero-emissions cruising.

Four New Yachts from Azimut

Azimut will have four yachts making their Americas premiere at the 2023 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show: the Verve 48 outboard, Magellano 60, Grande 36M and S7.

The Verve 48 outboard is a sport boat for weekends, designed in collaboration with Francesco Struglia. Its power is triple 600 hp Mercury outboards that promise a top speed of 50 knots. The stern has been updated from previous models; it now includes “the most extensive swim platform ever,” according to Azimut.

Crossover appeal is at the heart of the Magellano 60, with features intended for longer-distance cruising. For sustainability, the Azimut Magellano 60 can be delivered with HVOlution , a biofuel produced by Eni Sustainable Mobility. Azimut says this fuel, when combined with the shipyard’s semi-planing Dual Mode hull, can reduce carbon-dioxide emissions by more than 80 percent compared to yachts using traditional fuel.

With the Grande 36M, Azimut is showcasing a semi-walkaround upper deck that runs on the same level from the stern almost to the tip of the bow. The idea is to create an area that didn’t exist before on boats this size. Exterior design on the Azimut Grande 36M is by Alberto Mancini, with interiors by Achille Salvagni.

The Azimut S7 is a 72-foot yacht built with Volvo Penta IPS propulsion and a “super-lightweight” hull for a sporty ride. Azimut says the S7 also reduces fuel consumption and harmful emissions by as much as 30 percent compared to shaft-line boats with traditional chine hulls. Exteriors are by Alberto Mancini, with interiors by Yachtique.

The wallywhy150 is also expected to be on display at the 2023 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, following its international debut at the recent Cannes Yachting Festival in France.

This 78-foot motoryacht can be ordered with triple Volvo Penta IPS1350 engines for a maximum speed of 23 knots. With the standard Volvo Penta IPS1200s, that figure is 21 knots. Exterior spaces include a completely open upper deck with dining, sunbathing and a shaded lounge. Inside, there’s sole-to-ceiling glass for great views, with a main-deck master stateroom as well as guest staterooms belowdecks. The yacht can be ordered with a VIP and two guest staterooms, or with twin VIPs.

In addition to its cruising, water-sports and angling flexibility, the 585 SUV is entertainment-centric with its sizable cockpit and semi-enclosed alfresco deck.

Ocean Alexander 32 Legend: Crewed-Yacht Living

The Ocean Alexander 32 Legend is a 120-foot superyacht penned by Evan K. Marshall, notable for its sole-to-ceiling glass across three decks, allowing for ocean vista from most points on board. From its seaside beach club to its foredeck lounge, rest and relaxation is at the forefront of this yacht’s design. Off the cockpit, power doors slide away allowing guests to enter the open-plan salon, which benefits from the aforementioned glass, enabling light to flood the space. A formal dining space for 10 is forward in the salon. The sense of volume and openness is palpable. The 32L has a main-deck master suite as well as four guest staterooms belowdecks. This yacht also has a skylounge with a wet bar, a TV, an ice-maker and a refrigerator, expanding entertaining options. Other alfresco spaces include a hot tub aft on the upper deck and a foredeck with a sun pad. Power is twin 2,600 hp MTU diesels.

Belowdecks, there are three double-berth staterooms and two heads. Owners can also opt to add a hydraulic swim platform. Riviera has two power options for the 46: twin 725 hp Volvo Penta D11 IPS 950s or twin 600 hp Volvo Penta D8 IPS 800s.

Built in the USA: Viking 90

The Viking 90 made its official debut earlier this year at the Miami International Boat Show, but Hull No. 1 is still on its premiere-year tour. It’s been turning anglers’ heads out on the fishing circuit, hauling in big catch. All expectations are that it will continue to impress show-goers at the 2023 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show.

Viking 90: Ultimate Fishability

The Viking 90 has a fuel capacity of 3,801 gallons in four tanks, which gives the yacht long legs for getting to and from the canyons to chase big game. It can be ordered with an enclosed or an open bridge, and it has a one-piece wraparound, enclosed-bridge windshield for improved visibility. The cockpit has 224 square feet of dance space with a 203-gallon fishbox/live well and a pair of 103-gallon insulated, in-deck fishboxes. Refrigeration on those fishboxes is optional. A Seakeeper 35 is installed to keep everything steady at sea, and the cockpit sole is built with reinforcement for a fighting chair.

Viking 90: Interior Creature Comforts

When the day’s fishing is done, the Viking 90 has six staterooms (including a full-beam master) and seven heads to let everyone relax in comfort. There’s a U-shaped lounge in the salon, along with a home theater that includes a 65-inch high-definition TV.

Jeff Bezos’ superyacht is in South Florida. It’s so big it has to anchor at a seaport

South Florida, meet The Koru.

That’s the name of Jeff Bezos’ colossal yacht that just dropped anchor in Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale. The word means “new beginnings” in Maori, the language spoken by indigenous Polynesians of mainland New Zealand, where the Amazon founder’s private jet was spotted in 2020.

How ginormous is this triple-masted behemoth? Roughly 400 feet long and 250 feet tall, it’s the size of a cruise ship. That ginormous.

The luxury schooner is so big it can’t even hang with other leisure ships; she reportedly is parked near two oil tankers. It has two pools, a hot tub, multiple lounges, dining areas and bars, and perhaps the pièce de résistance , a wooden figurehead on the prow rumored to be modeled after Bezos’ fiancée, Lauren Sanchez .

The 59-year-old billionaire shelled out about $500M for his snazzy new toy, which was built just for him in the Netherlands by Oceanco, the company that also constructed Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones’ superyacht, the Bravo Eugenia .

Get used to seeing The Koru around, especially if you set sail on a vacation. Bezos, a Palmetto High alum, lives back here full time now, after spending three decades in Seattle, busy reinventing the way the world shops.

To the amazement of onlookers, former UFC owner Frank Fertitta III’s $250 million yacht, Viva, got stuck at a Fort Lauderdale bridge. The 308-foot yacht, boasting a gym, pool, cinema, helipad, and even a beauty salon, may have suffered damage in the accident.

The Viva yacht, known as an active Feadship luxury vessel delivered in 2021, experienced a bit of inactivity at Fort Lauderdale on September 10th. The vessel, with a top speed of 20.0 knots, was caught in a state of inertia due to the massive luxury yacht being lodged against the bridge. A video of the 308-foot pleasure craft, named Motoryacht of the Year in 2022, shows the pearly white hull practically stuck to the bridge with barely any space for air to pass through. It doesn’t take a genius to guess that this unwanted attachment likely caused some damage, though it is difficult to confirm from the video.

Viva, an absolute ‘wow’ yacht –

Formerly known as Project 817, it boasts exterior design by Studio De Voogt and interiors by Peter Marino. It was designed with environmental impact in mind and is equipped with an advanced hybrid propulsion system that allows Viva to cruise comfortably at 12 knots on diesel-electric power.
