The Palm Beach International Boat Show will return to downtown West Palm Beach from 17 to 21 March 2027, occupying its established waterfront site along Flagler Drive. The organiser's published timetable gives owners and buyers five days to visit yachts, builders and equipment exhibitors.
The show accommodates boats of many sizes, including production yachts within Luxury Yacht Guide's 12.00–23.99-metre segment. Its eventual inventory must be checked model by model rather than assumed from a broad promotional vessel count.
Dates and waterfront setting
The 2027 show begins at noon on Wednesday 17 March, continues through the weekend and closes at 5pm on Sunday 21 March. Its display area is Flagler Drive in downtown West Palm Beach, directly across the Intracoastal Waterway from Palm Beach Island.
That location combines on-water yachts with shoreside equipment and service businesses. Owners should verify access and individual yacht appointment conditions before making travel arrangements.
What buyers can compare
A concentrated show visit gives buyers the chance to walk through several different production layouts in the same place. Circulation, storage and machinery access often become clearer in person than in a model brochure, although a show inspection does not replace a survey.
Manufacturers and brokers have not yet published a complete 2027 under-24-metre line-up. LYG will identify individual vessels only when verified model names and overall lengths are confirmed by the relevant parties.
More than a sales display
The organiser also promotes marine accessories, hospitality and water-based demonstrations, making the show useful to existing owners considering upgrades. Equipment discussions can clarify installation requirements and support coverage across North American cruising grounds.
Published historic visitor and economic figures are not forecasts for next year's attendance or sales. For prospective owners, the practical next step is to follow the exhibitor list and request viewings on the boats that meet their plans.
