Miami, FL, USA
Miami Beach (Feb. 18, 2026) – The 2026 edition of the Miami International Boat Show, organized by Informa Markets and the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA), concluded a five-day run in Miami with both style and substance. Highlighting more than 1,000 boats and marine products across six locations, the show pulled in an estimated near-100,000 attendees despite a Sunday weather disruption that affected water-taxi operations.
The Business of Boating
Beyond glamor and gadgets, the 2026 show delivered real commerce. NMMA President & CEO Frank Hugelmeyer called the event “a hub to see some of the latest next-gen marine technologies…” and underscored its role in generating significant economic impact for manufacturers, dealers and service providers.
Visitor Experience & Theming
The visitor experience was enhanced this year with a refreshed layout and lifestyle touches. At the 5.8-acre outdoor space known as Pride Park, attendees engaged in activities such as the Nautical Ventures AquaZone and a new pickle-ball court in partnership with the 2026 Miami Open.
