BOATS ACROSS PALM BEACH COUNTY TO SOUND THEIR HORNS SIGNALING LAUNCH OF THE NOW VIRTUAL PALM BEACH INTERNATIONAL BOAT SHOW
Impact
The Palm Beach International Boat Show -- which saw 53,000 visitors last year and had a statewide economic impact of $682.7 million -- was forced to “come about” and move to a virtual platform due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In a sign of unity among the West Palm Beach marine community, Palm Beach County safe harbor marinas, local law enforcement boats, towing boats, marine exhibitors, and area boaters will sound their boat horns for 30 seconds at 10:00 a.m. on Thursday, May 14th to trumpet the launch of the show, which is moving off the docks and on to digital screens for the first time in its 35 year- history.
More than $1.2 billion worth of yachts and marine accessories.
The Virtual Palm Beach International Boat Show features 436 exhibitors and nearly 800 boats, including over 150 superyachts. Included is the 238-foot QUANTUM OF SOLACE by Turquoise Yachts, 242-foot PLVS VLTRA by Dutch shipyard Amels, and the world debut of Grand Banks Yachts GB54.
