Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show

Does FLIBS have much in the way of sailboats and products? I'm new to Fort Lauderdale. Went to the boat show">Miami Boat Show last year - it was ok. From Maryland/DC so I may be spoiled by the Annapolis Sailboat Show.

Thanks!

Looked through the (minimal) show info on-line, and it looks (1) very small and (2) very fishing. Seminars are about fishing or small motorboat. No list of exhibitors. Of course, nothing will compare to Annapolis, but this does not even look like a good imitation of Miami.

It’s HUGH and mostly featuring larger power yachts. It’s in several locations and could take more than a day to experience. Is one of those shows that you need to experience at least once. Enjoy.

What I found as well. Is there a Strictly Sail Miami in 2023? I looked around and didn’t see anything.

I’m sure I’ll have fun but I won’t have FOMO since anything sail related will be tangential b
