Miami International Boat Show: An Extraordinary Experience for Boat Lovers

One of the most anticipated events each year for boating enthusiasts is the Miami International Boat Show, whose next edition will be held from February 12 to 16, 2025, and promises to be even more spectacular than previous ones.

The festival is organized by the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) in collaboration with the International Yacht Brokers Association; however, it was mainly the merger with the Miami Yacht Show that gave birth to the Miami International Boat Show, the largest boat and yacht show in the world.

Where the Miami International Boat Show Takes Place

As you will see, the Miami International Boat Show takes place in various locations around the city. Part of the event will be held on land, specifically at the Miami Beach Convention Center and Pride Park; in particular, the latter will be the heart of the experience.

At Pride Park, there will be a series of interactive activities related to the nautical world, including seminars, educational games suitable for the whole family, and delightful food trucks. Visitors can, among other things, test their captain skills with the Hooked prize machine and sing along with Marina, a mermaid who is half fish and half WaveRunner.

Activities at the Miami International Boat Show

The 2025 edition of the Miami International Boat Show aims to offer, as every year, a wide range of activities. Here are the main ones:

• 1. Nautical Ventures AquaZone: This is a large freshwater pool located at Pride Park and will be the center of aquatic demonstrations. Visitors can participate in hands-on sports trials, contests, and much more.
• 2. Food and Drinks: All participants can enjoy high-level culinary experiences and special cocktails offered by the event partners (including Budweiser, Goslings, Tanqueray, Ketel One, and Crown Royal).
