This Thursday October 30th though November 3rd is the 49th Annual Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show. As we reported a couple months back, the World renown exhibit will be docked throughout six sites in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Upwards of $3 billion worth of mega-yachts, yachts, electronics and accessories will be available throughout the three million square foot space.

This year the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show is putting an emphasis on going green. We are ecstatic to see the environmental trend growing into the sea.  This year we will see electric and hybrid boats, chemical-free boat cleaners, plus safer building materials and other environmentally friendly innovations. We will also see the debut of the Calypso 23e yacht. Propelled by the Whisper XT electric outboard, it is the World’s largest electric yacht and requires no gas. You don’t have to imagine going without gas anymore.

We applaud the going green push but the essence of the International Boat Show has always been glamour and luxury on the water. We will be present for all the parties, private tours, over 200 mega-yachts, and, of course, the drama. We will tell all about the billion-dollar exhibit, so stay here with us through the show.
