To boaters, any day on the water is the best day ever. If you can't be on the water, the next best thing must be intermingling among a sea of the nation's finest boats at The Miami International Boat Show. Now through Monday at the Miami Beach Convention Center, the event gives boaters the opportunity to bask in the shine of the sparkling vessel of their dreams, whether they buy it or not. It's also the one stop shop for America's 70 million recreational boaters to get a load of the latest gear. From sails to snorkels, marine lights to bait hooks, and inflatables to grand yachts, the boat show has everything you need to hit the water in style.
We're at the show all day Thursday and Friday to get you the best of the Miami International Boat Show. If you're going, consider this a preview. If you're only dreaming about it, let us be your eyes and ears on the ground. We'll be updating this page with the best of the boat show, so stay tuned!
