Sunday the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show ends

Fort Lauderdale, Florida – The Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show is taking place at the Broward County Convention Center is wrapping up this weekend.

This is the first time in two years that it’s been held as usual and the 62nd annual Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show. In 2020, a scaled-back event was put on due to the coronavirus pandemic.

This year organizers are expecting to generate a billion dollars, which is quite a boost to the local economy. Attendees are able to enjoy some of the best in the marine industry from the Aqua Zone, which is basically a big pool that has been set up in the middle of the convention center where officials will be providing hourly live demonstrations.

There are also several booths from major industry names, including brands like Grady White and Yellowfin. In addition to some of the boats that are on display at the Bahia Mar, there’s also a superyacht village that has been set up near Pier 66.

The Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show runs until Sunday.
