Private Jet to the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show 2026

The Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show takes place from Wednesday 28 October to Sunday 1 November 2026 across six waterfront and exhibition locations in Fort Lauderdale. The organiser lists more than 1,300 boats and 1,000 exhibiting brands, covering superyachts, brokerage vessels, new builds, tenders, marine equipment and technology. The 2026 event is the 67th edition of FLIBS.

We arrange private jet flights to Fort Lauderdale around the passenger’s yacht appointments, show tickets, hotel and preferred venue. The flight plan also covers airport suitability, international clearance, aircraft parking and transport between the FBO and the correct show location.

Ventajas de viajar en avión privado al Salón Náutico de Fort Lauderdale

• Flight times based on appointments: Arrivals and departures can be planned around yacht viewings, meetings, preview access and hospitality bookings.
• Choice of Fort Lauderdale airports: The airport is selected according to the aircraft, runway requirement, customs arrangements, parking and hotel location.
• Private aviation facilities: Passengers use the appointed FBO or business aviation facility rather than the scheduled airline terminal.
• Aircraft matched to the group: Passenger numbers, baggage, marine equipment and cabin requirements are checked before the aircraft is proposed.
• Planned return flight: Show closing times, traffic, aircraft parking and crew duty limits are considered before departure is confirmed.

Plan the Flight Around the Correct Show Location

FLIBS is spread across several sites rather than contained within one marina. The main 2026 locations are:

• Bahia Mar: Centre consoles, motor yachts, superyachts, electronics and marine accessories.
• Hall of Fame Marina: New-build and brokerage yachts, together with Windward VIP facilities.
• Las Olas Marina: A selection of brokerage yachts measuring approximately 60 to 200 feet.
• Pier Sixty-Six North: Brokerage vessels measuring more than 100 feet.
• Superyacht Village at Pier Sixty-Six South: The largest yachts at the show and related exhibitors.
• Broward County Convention Center: Boats measuring up to approximately 50 feet, marine equipment, electronics and retail exhibitors.

A general request for transport to the boat show is not enough to select the correct drop-off point. We need the passenger’s first appointment, show location and admission type before confirming the car.

A show ticket does not automatically provide access to every yacht. Private yacht inspections and builder meetings may require appointments arranged separately with the shipyard, broker or exhibitor.

Costes de los jets privados para el Salón Náutico de Fort Lauderdale

The figures below are indicative one-way estimates for the whole aircraft. They are not per-passenger fares or guaranteed live offers.

Short regional routes may suit a light or super light jet when the passenger and baggage totals permit. Flights from New York or Chicago may require a light, super light or midsize jet, depending on the cabin requested and the nonstop performance required. The final price depends on where the aircraft starts, the selected Fort Lauderdale airport, crew duty time, FBO charges, event-week parking and any empty flights required before or after the passenger sector.

Passengers carrying yacht models, product samples, diving equipment or large marine components should provide the dimensions and weight before an aircraft is selected. Some items may not fit through a business jet’s baggage door even when the published baggage volume appears sufficient.

Best Private Jet Airports for the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show

Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International and Fort Lauderdale Executive are the two airports we compare first. Miami-Opa Locka Executive can provide another option when its aircraft availability, parking or location better suits the complete itinerary.

• Aeropuerto Ejecutivo de Fort Lauderdale (FXE)
• Aeropuerto Internacional de Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood (FLL)
• Aeropuerto Ejecutivo de Opa-locka (OPF)
• Aeropuerto Internacional de Palm Beach (PBI)

Nos encargaremos de organizar tu llegada al aeropuerto que te resulte más cómodo, asegurándonos de que el trayecto en coche hasta el recinto del salón náutico sea rápido.

International Flights and Aircraft Parking During FLIBS

Aircraft availability and an FBO booking do not confirm US entry approval or parking.

For international private flights, the operator must submit APIS data and obtain CBP permission to land before leaving the foreign airport. FLL and FXE require this at least one hour before arrival. Schedule changes beyond the permitted tolerance require revised approval. First-landing rules or a Border Overflight Exemption may also affect the route.

Parking is confirmed separately. If the aircraft cannot remain at FLL or FXE, it may reposition to another South Florida airport, adding empty flight sectors to the quote. Passengers must hold the required passport, ESTA, visa or other entry document and report passenger-list changes promptly. The chauffeur should also receive the exact FBO or customs facility address.

Yachts to See at the 2026 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show

The 67th FLIBS takes place from 28 October to 1 November 2026. The organiser has not yet published the confirmed yacht and exhibitor list, so individual brands or debuts should not be presented as attending. The largest yachts will be concentrated at Superyacht Village and Pier Sixty-Six, while Hall of Fame Marina and Las Olas Marina will feature new-build and brokerage yachts. Bahia Mar will display vessels ranging from centre consoles to superyachts.
