Every year, the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS) draws serious buyers, casual yacht lovers, and dreamers from around the world. With thousands of boats on display and deals happening dockside, it’s easy to think the show is the only place to find your next yacht for sale. But here’s a little insider secret: some of the best opportunities aren’t actually inside the show at all.
Around Fort Lauderdale, dozens of high-quality boats and yachts hit the market during show week — often within a few miles of the main event. Local marinas, private docks, and brokerage slips are full of vessels listed “show-adjacent,” strategically positioned to attract savvy buyers who know where to look. Whether you’re shopping for a luxury motor yacht, a center console, or a bluewater cruiser, these nearby listings can offer incredible value, less competition, and the chance for a more relaxed, hands-on buying experience.
Want to walk the show with a professional, expert yacht broker? Contact us today at marketing@unitedyacht.com or by calling (772) 463-3131, and we'll connect you with the right yacht broker for the type of boat you're interested in buying.
