Best Ways to Enjoy the Miami International Boat Show 2026

Join High Seas Yachting on the Docks!

The Miami International Boat Show returns this weekend, bringing the world’s top yachts, marine products, and on-water innovations to Miami. This year, the show spans multiple locations throughout the city, with the Yacht Collection in South Beach serving as the premier destination for large yachts and luxury experiences.

High Seas Yachting will be attending the show and connecting with clients throughout the weekend. While we will not have a vessel on display, our team will be on site to guide clients through the Yacht Collection, coordinate private showings near the show, and assist with charter opportunities in Miami.

How to Get to the Show

Visit the Yacht Collection – South Beach

The Yacht Collection is located along the waterfront in South Beach and showcases some of the largest yachts and luxury brands at the Miami International Boat Show. We recommend reviewing venue details in advance, as show locations are spread across multiple areas this year. This area is best accessed by rideshare or drop-off, especially during peak show hours.

Park Nearby and Get Dropped Off

If you plan to drive, parking nearby and using a drop-off or rideshare is one of the easiest ways to access the show. Due to updated locations and traffic patterns, we recommend coordinating your arrival in advance. If you are meeting with the High Seas Yachting team, we’re happy to assist with meeting points or help plan your visit around the Yacht Collection and nearby yachts.
