The Yachting Capital of the World
Fort Lauderdale has been the epicenter of the global yachting industry since the first boat show in 1959. Today, FLIBS is the world's largest in-water boat show, transforming seven locations across the city into a floating showcase of maritime excellence — from 24-metre sailing yachts to 100-metre-plus megayachts.
For charter clients, FLIBS offers an unparalleled opportunity to tour dozens of charter yachts in a single visit, meet captains and crew, compare amenities side by side, and book your next charter at exclusive show rates. It's the most efficient way to find your perfect yacht.
Bluebnc Yachting, headquartered at 501 East Las Olas Boulevard, is your home-port broker for FLIBS. Our Fort Lauderdale team arranges premium berths, private yacht viewings, VIP event access, and seamless transitions to Bahamas charters after the show.
