America's Dominance 

As a huge player in the global superyacht market and with an ever-expanding UHNWI population in the region, the American superyacht market remains one of the largest. Continuing to dominate, industry professionals have predicted expansion in the US market and significant growth to outpace other markets this year. Following the American elections and pro-growth policies, confidence in the US market is better than ever. As one of the US's largest and most prestigious yacht shows, Palm Beach will have an economic impact of around $1.05 billion this year. 

Impressive Lineups

With 15 yachts at the show last year, our team is back this year with an equally strong presence and lineup. Not only did we showcase some of the best yachts at the show, but we also held exciting and exclusive events with our partners; this year we will return providing more of the same. Our lineup combines yachts suitable for various buyer preferences and clients looking for charters. Visit us at the show and view the newest and most exciting developments in yacht design and offerings. For prospective buyers and charterers, working with experienced consultants is increasingly important with today's complex market dynamics; contact one of our professional consultants to arrange your viewings to guide you around the show. 

Industry Insights 

With the yacht market showing interesting developments already this year, the Palm Beach show provides valuable networking opportunities with industry leaders, consultants, and financial advisors. It is an ideal venue for understanding current market trends and making informed decisions about yacht ownership or charter investments. Similar to last year, this year's seminar and workshop programming will represent a wealth of knowledge and expertise from experts who will discuss a range of topics, such as sustainability, emerging technologies, and design developments. 

Easily Accessible 

The show also stands out for its convenient location and multiple transportation options. It is easy to get to whether arriving from within the US or internationally. Firstly, benefitting from proximity to three major airports offers flexible travel; Palm Beach International Airport, Fort Lauderdale International Airport, and Miami International Airport all provide easy gateways. In Palm Beach, on-the-ground transport is easy, with plentiful car parking, high-speed rail, and ride-sharing services in designated pick-up and drop-off zones. The show's well-organized layout and location are easy to navigate and walkable, with everything in one location. 

Luxurious Setting

The Floridian climate and laid-back atmosphere are ideal for viewing some of the world's best yachts and attending social soirees. Beyond exhibitors and yachts, Palm Beach provides an excellent luxury backdrop for the show. The Flagler Drive downtown location offers easy access to Palm Beach's renowned restaurants, hotels, and shopping scene. Whether staying at the famous Breakers resort, enjoying shopping on Worth Avenue, or dining at the elegant Cafe Boulud, there is plenty to experience beyond the show. Be sure to tag a little extra time on your show visit to enjoy the Sunshine State, from the wider Palm Beach Country, the cosmopolitan Miami down to the Florida Keys. IYC has several partners at the show that can enhance your luxurious show experience, from private chauffeurs to complimentary admissions and a place to relax between meetings. 

Activities Await

It isn't just about wining and dining here; Palm Beach offers plenty of activities for those attending the show. For those not wanting to miss a game, head to one of the country's premier golf courses for a round suitable for all levels. Or, experience show jumping at Wellington International or the Wellington Polo Club to witness the iconic sports. You can also immerse yourself in the culture and arts scene within the art studios and theatres of Delray Beach. Getting out on the water is also easy here, whether a diving session to spot sea turtles and reef sharks, a sailing and fishing adventure, or even a relaxing day charter to try before you buy. 

The IYC team is excited to once again be present at this year's Palm Beach International Boat Show and will be there to accompany yacht visits and provide insights and advice. Contact our expert consultants today to discover our lineup of yachts in the show and in the area.
