Yachts valued at more than $1 billion will be displayed along Miami Beach’s Collins Avenue

A growing venue MIAMI BOAT SHOW AND SIMPLY SAIL

The show has expanded again, spreading north on Collins Avenue another 400 feet to add another 30 yachts from 52 to 134 feet.   The show expanded a bit geographically and added the Miami Beach Marina for very large yachts.  The Miami Beach Marina will host eight superyachts over 50 meters (164 feet) with brokerage firms that include Worth Avenue Yachts, Camper & Nicholsons, HMY, Northrop & Johnson, Merle Wood & Associates, Fraser Yachts and Burgess Yachts.

 Sea Ray will display yachts between 42 and 65 feet. Tiara is also bringing its fleet to the show, with eight yachts from 36 to 60 feet.  VanDutch Marine Ltd., which is now being built by Marquis Yachts, is another new addition, bringing three boats from 31 to 54 feet.

It will host at least 70 yachts over 100 feet, and that number was still growing in early January. (As a comparison, the Monaco Yacht Show has 90 yachts over 100 feet.) At the time, the largest boats in the show were a 164-foot Christensen and a 143-foot Benetti. Other yachts include a 123-foot Sanlorenzo, a 111-foot Sunseeker and a 110-foot Mangusta. “The lineup of boats is phenomenal,”.

Ferretti’s new-boat display will include 22 or 23 boats — two less than last year — but only because there are some bigger boats in the mix, Henderson says. There will be two Custom Line boats, a Custom Line 100 and a Navetta 26. The company will debut the Ferretti 750 among its lineup of six other Ferrettis, six Rivas and three Bertrams in “a prime location.”

Four Marquis yachts will be at the builder’s in-water display on Collins Avenue. They are the 420 Sport Bridge, 500 Sport Bridge, 630 Sport Yacht and 720 Flybridge Motor Yacht.
