The Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show is back for its 63rd annual occurrence. From Oct. 26 through 30, the open-air experience will make a splash with an arsenal of thrilling maritime exhibitions. The attractions range from the Superyacht Village—equipped with outstanding shipyards, personal submarines and exotic collectible automotive items—to the Windward VIP Club, which comes with shore and water views, a premium open bar and gourmet food offerings; and myriad family-friendly experiences. This year, FLIBS is using the largest in-water experience in the yachting world to display an array of exhibitions with some of the most sought-out innovative marine products. “We are thrilled to kick off another fantastic event in Fort Lauderdale for our 63rd year,” says Andrew Doole, president of U.S. Boat Shows with Informa Markets. With the nautical world in high demand right now, this show is expected to set the bar higher than the sea level itself. 1950 Eisenhower Blvd., Fort Lauderdale, @flibsofficial
