The Palm Beach International Boat Show is scheduled to return March 25 through 29, 2026, along Flagler Drive downtown in West Palm Beach, directly across the Intracoastal Waterway from Palm Beach Island. Whether you’re a lifelong show-goer or your first time attending, here’s all you need to know to get the most out of it.
