The Fort Lauderdale Boat Show 2026 is one of the largest in-water boat shows anywhere, and this guide covers how to plan it from Hollywood.
October 28–November 1, 2026 · Fort Lauderdale
The Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show returns October 28 through November 1, 2026. For visitors considering a future home at Icon Beach Residences Hollywood, it is an opportunity to explore the wider waterfront setting that makes this stretch of South Florida distinctive.
Make the water the focus
Build your visit around the vessels and exhibits that interest you, leaving time to explore Fort Lauderdale beyond the show. A relaxed waterfront meal can be as revealing as a yacht tour: both offer a chance to consider how much of your own routine you would like to spend beside the water.
The show spans multiple locations, so review the organizer’s current map before choosing your arrival point. Ticket access and permission to board individual vessels are separate considerations; check the relevant exhibitor’s arrangements.
Bring the experience back to Hollywood
Icon Beach’s South Ocean Drive address places the project within a broader coastal region that includes Fort Lauderdale to the north. Pairing a show visit with time in Hollywood lets prospective buyers compare the atmosphere of the two areas firsthand.
If boating is central to your plans, ask our team for the current written terms of the marina access described in the project materials. Confirm any separate charges and arrangements rather than assuming ownership includes a slip.
Explore Icon Beach’s proposed amenities and arrange a project consultation around your boat-show itinerary.

Fort Lauderdale Boat Show 2026 Logistics
The show spreads across several marinas around Bahia Mar and the Las Olas area, with water taxis and shuttles linking the sites. Hollywood is a short drive south, close to Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, so you can avoid peak-week hotel rates near the show.
Wear comfortable shoes, plan one or two priority docks per day and buy tickets through official channels.
Waterfront Living Beyond the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show 2026
Boat owners often care most about the Intracoastal and quick ocean access. Icon Beach sits on a site that touches both the Atlantic and the Intracoastal Waterway, which suits people who live around the water.
