The Palm Beach International Boat Show once again set the stage for an extraordinary showcase of the yachting industry. From March 19th to the 23rd 2025, IYC shone bright on Dock E with a spectacular lineup of yachts and an impressive stand. Our presence was a testament to the dedication and hard work of our teams on-site, as well as the valuable contributions of our esteemed partners. We were proud to showcase stunning vessels, host engaging brand activations and exclusive events, and share key announcements that made this week even more special.
Our lineup of yachts in the show included:
In addition to these yachts, we also had a strong presence at Rybovich Marina, where another impressive fleet was available for private viewings. Thanks to our deep-rooted presence in South Florida, many more yachts were also available for clients to explore in the surrounding area, ensuring a significant selection of options for potential buyers and charter guests alike.
There is no showcasing the success of the show for IYC without highlighting our collaboration with our esteemed partners.
Panerai showcased an exquisite collection of timepieces at our stand, BMW North America provided two luxurious X7 vehicles to transport our clients in comfort and style, with dedicated drivers ensuring seamless mobility throughout the event. Adding an element of interactive adrenaline, LIND electric surfboards hosted live demonstrations at North Rybovich Marina, where visitors had the opportunity to test the boards firsthand. Complementing this experience, Le Barthélémy Hotel & Spa created a relaxing oasis, offering fresh coconuts and sun loungers for a well-deserved break from the show’s environment. For a fun and convenient touch, a Mini Moke was on hand to shuttle guests to and from the event. Wine enthusiasts were treated to an exclusive experience with GWS, which not only provided wines for our stand but also hosted private tastings aboard TC. Led by Master of Wine Liam Steevenson, these sessions highlighted a curated selection of exceptional wines and sparkling varieties.
Aboard OCEANIC 143, we hosted two standout gatherings: an intimate event in partnership with Jet Aviation for a select group of clients, where the atmosphere was lively, and spirits were high, and a high-energy Captain’s Party featuring a DJ, cocktails, and gourmet bites, creating an incredible ambiance that drew a fantastic crowd.
We also welcomed a select group of VIP guests to a private evening at Panerai’s Worth Avenue boutique, where attendees discovered Panerai’s craftsmanship in an intimate and elegant setting—an event that proved to be a great success among our distinguished clients in the area. Meanwhile, in collaboration with Moonen Yachts, we hosted a brokers’ cocktail event aboard the Moonen 110 MUSTIQUE, bringing together industry professionals for an evening of networking and unwinding.
Adding to the week’s special moments, we also gathered as a company for our annual Excellence Awards at The Ben, an event we host each year on the eve of the show to recognize outstanding team members who have gone above and beyond. Read more about this year's event here.
The Palm Beach show also served as the perfect platform for some announcements from IYC. As with every PBIBS, the show served as the launching platform for the brand new HORIZONS magazine, with a very beautiful issue 13 delivered to inspire and best prepare for the spring/summer season 2025.
One of the most exciting launches of the week was INSIDER by IYC, our brand-new video series designed to take viewers behind the scenes of our services and introduce some of the incredible people who make IYC a leader in the yachting world. The first episode is now live on YouTube, with more to follow throughout the year.
Another reveal was the new photography of the Moonen 122 MARTINIQUE YN206, a stunning addition to the Moonen fleet with delivery set for September 2025. The announcement was made during a press conference where journalists had the opportunity to hear from Vripack’s design team and Moonen’s technical director about the yacht’s innovative features and design.
As we look ahead, we are excited for what’s to come—more innovation, more events, and more unforgettable moments for our teams and clients to share worldwide.
