The 61st annual Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show will take place from October 28 – Nov 1, 2020. Every year, the show exhibits a vast array of the industry’s latest boats and yachts of all sizes, worldwide debuts, plus a medley of marine products and accessories.

Owned by the Marine Industries Association of South Florida (MIASF) and produced by Informa Markets, FLIBS will require all vendors and attendees to wear face masks. Informa says additional safety and hygienic measures will be in place to protect attendees and vendors from Covid-19 transmission.

Every year, new brands and models make their debut at the show and this year will be no different. Among others, Vandalize Boats will make its debut and provide sea trials aboard its 30-foot SUV 305 model.
