How it is booked

Booking the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show

FLIBS bookings are built around a week of appointments, not one ride. A buyer usually holds a car for the day, a brokerage team takes a Sprinter, and an exhibitor reserves a coach for its guests’ hotel runs. Large vehicles go first for the show week, so tell dispatch the days and the sites as early as you can.

Getting there

Getting to the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show

FLIBS is less one venue than a string of them. Bahia Mar on the barrier island is the headquarters, the convention center sits on the southeast side of the city near the port, and Hall of Fame, Las Olas and the two Pier Sixty-Six sites line the Intracoastal in between, so a buyer or a broker spends the show moving from dock to dock. The show runs its own water taxis and shuttles between those sites, which suit a casual visitor; a held car suits someone with appointments, because it waits outside one marina and is ready the moment a walkthrough ends, then carries the party and its brochures to the next. A brokerage or manufacturer team keeps its people together in a Jet or Executive Sprinter, and an exhibitor hosting clients can send a 23-, 40- or 55-seat coach to collect them from their hotels each morning and return them after the evening receptions. Guests flying in for the preview day are met at FLL, a short drive from the show, on the flight’s real arrival time.

Questions

Frequently asked

Do you provide transportation for the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show?

Yes — Aura Palm Limo runs sedans, SUVs, Sprinters and coaches for FLIBS buyers, brokers, exhibitors and their guests across all five show days.

When is the 2026 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show?

The 67th edition runs from Wednesday, October 28 to Sunday, November 1, 2026, with the Wednesday set aside as a preview day.

Where is FLIBS held?

Bahia Mar Yachting Center is the headquarters, and the show also uses the Broward County Convention Center, Hall of Fame Marina, Las Olas Marina and the Pier Sixty-Six marinas.

Can a car wait for me while I tour yachts at different marinas?

Yes; a held car waits outside each site and moves you to the next marina when a walkthrough or meeting ends.

Can an exhibitor book a coach for its clients during the show?

Yes, a 23-, 40- or 55-seat coach can collect an exhibitor’s guests from their hotels each morning and bring them back after the evening events.

How is FLIBS different from the Miami and Palm Beach boat shows?

FLIBS is the autumn show at Bahia Mar and the Fort Lauderdale marinas, while the Miami show runs in February and the Palm Beach show in March.

Which airport is closest to the Fort Lauderdale boat show?

Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International (FLL) is the nearest airport, a short drive from Bahia Mar and the convention center.

Is Aura Palm affiliated with the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show?

No — Aura Palm is an independent chauffeur company and has no connection to FLIBS, the Marine Industries Association of South Florida or Informa Markets.

How far ahead should we book transport for FLIBS?

Book Sprinters and coaches for the show four to six weeks out where possible, since the show week counts as a high-demand period for the larger vehicles.

Can you collect us late after a boat-show reception?

Yes; dispatch runs 24/7, so a pickup after a late dockside party is arranged exactly like a morning drop at Bahia Mar.

Aura Palm Limo provides chauffeured transportation for the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS), the five-day yacht show held each autumn with its headquarters at Bahia Mar Yachting Center and further displays at the Broward County Convention Center, Hall of Fame Marina, Las Olas Marina and the Pier Sixty-Six marinas. Aura Palm is an independent chauffeur service with no tie to the show, its owner or its producer; the work is getting people between those sites — a buyer moved from one marina to the next, a brokerage team kept in one Sprinter, an exhibitor’s guests brought from their hotels by coach. Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International (FLL) is a short drive from the show, and Aura Palm takes FLIBS bookings at any hour on +1 (786) 574-3081 across Fort Lauderdale and the Broward, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach counties around it.

In depth Chauffeured transport for the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show

Six sites, one working week

The Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show has grown from a small local display in 1959 into a show its organizers describe as the largest of its kind held in the water, and it now spreads across Bahia Mar, the convention center and four marina sites rather than one hall. For the people who come to buy, sell or charter, that turns five days into a sequence of appointments in different places. A chauffeur held for the day removes the gaps between them: no searching for a space near a busy marina, no waiting at a shuttle stop with a client, and a vehicle that is already outside when the next viewing is due.

Brokers, builders and their guests

Much of the show’s ground travel belongs to the trade. A brokerage desk that wants its team in one place rides in a Sprinter; a builder bringing prospective owners down for the preview day sends a car to the airport and another to the hotel; an exhibitor hosting a dockside evening needs its guests delivered and collected on schedule. Aura Palm sizes each of those jobs separately, from a sedan for a buyer and an advisor to a 55-seat coach for an invited group, and the same chauffeur can be requested across the whole week so a client sees a familiar face each morning.

From FLL to the docks

The airport is one of the show’s advantages: Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International sits on the same side of the city as the convention center and only a short drive from the island, so an exhibitor can land in the morning and be on the docks soon after. Flights are tracked live, a grace period covers a late landing, and luggage rides with the guest straight to the hotel or the first appointment. To plan transport for FLIBS, call +1 (786) 574-3081 or write to info@auravipservices.com with the dates, the party size and the sites you expect to visit.
