Get ready for the 2022 Discover Boating Miami International Boat Show. With just weeks to the signature event, make sure to secure your tickets for the largest boat and yacht event in the world, which will be returning to the Miami Beach Convention Center and four additional locations from Wednesday, Feb. 16, through Sunday, Feb. 20, for a Presidents Day weekend boating extravaganza.
Produced by Informa Markets and owned by the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA), the 2022 Discover Boating Miami International Boat Show will be the first production of South Florida’s preeminent winter boat shows after joining forces in 2021 and combining the Miami Yacht Show, SuperYacht Miami, and the Miami International Boat Show — all to create one seamless experience for exhibitors, customers, and the marine industry at-large.
The 2022 Miami event is the first boat show to be integrated with the Discover Boating brand. Discover Boating is the North American lifestyle brand for boating aimed at attracting the next generation of boaters and engaging current boaters.
“We are looking forward to delivering an unparalleled experience at the 2022 Discover Boating Miami International Boat Show,” said Andrew Doole, president of U.S. Boat Shows with Informa Markets, who produces the Discover Boating Miami International Boat Show.
“With our return to the Miami Beach Convention Center and alongside our partners at the National Marine Manufacturers Association, the 2022 boat show will be unlike any other winter boat show — and we can’t wait to bring together the boating and yachting community for an unforgettable event.”
Historically, the Miami International Boat Show, the Miami Yacht Show, and SuperYacht Miami have attracted over 100,000 visitors from approximately 35 countries around the globe to South Florida while generating an estimated $1.34 billion for the state, which is equivalent to the impact of hosting nearly three Super Bowls. The Discover Boating Miami International Boat Show is expected to welcome back the global community of guests to this epic, five-day boating event — a welcome boon to South Florida’s tourism and hospitality sector.
“Interest and demand for boating are near all-time highs and we look forward to welcoming new and existing boaters from around the world to discover the best in boating on display throughout our five exciting on-land and in-water locations,” said Frank Hugelmeyer, NMMA president.
“For 80 years, the Miami International Boat Show has put boating in Miami on the international stage while welcoming boaters from across the globe. The 2022 Discover Boating Miami International Boat Show will provide the ultimate boat show experience in a first-of-its-kind all-city event in Miami and Miami Beach,” Hugelmeyer added.
Bringing the events together will offer numerous benefits for exhibitors, visitors, and the Greater Miami community, specifically Miami Beach and Downtown Miami. The on-land portion of the event will take place at the newly reimagined Miami Beach Convention Center, while the featured in-water activities will be offered at One Herald Plaza, Sea Isle Marina, Museum Park Marina, and IGY Yacht Haven Grande at Island Gardens.
