FLIBS 2026
The yachting world meets in Florida.
For five days, Fort Lauderdale becomes one of the most important meeting points in the international yachting industry.
Superyachts. Motor yachts. New launches. Brokerage yachts. Shipyards. Designers. Owners. Buyers. Captains. And more than a thousand boats across the city's waterfront.
For Lund Group clients, FLIBS is not simply a show. It is an opportunity. To compare yachts. Meet shipyards. Inspect vessels. Understand the market. And potentially find the yacht you have been waiting for.
Lund Group can coordinate everything around your visit — your yacht search, your viewings, your private flight, your hotel, your chauffeur, your dinners and your entire Fort Lauderdale itinerary.
Come to FLIBS. Leave with a shortlist.

Site list per the show organiser. Which yachts appear at which location is confirmed only by the exhibitors themselves — we do not publish unverified berth allocations.
Superyacht Village
Start with the big ones.
For clients focused on the upper end of the market, Lund Group can build a personalised viewing programme around the superyachts relevant to your criteria.
Rather than walking the entire show, tell us what you are looking for. We build the shortlist. You inspect the yachts that matter.
Lund Group does not control access to individual yachts. Viewings remain subject to broker, owner, shipyard and exhibitor approval.
Build my shortlistMethod
Don't view 100 yachts. View the right five.
Before you arrive in Fort Lauderdale, Lund Group can help define your acquisition criteria and build a focused list of relevant yachts.
01
Define
Budget. Size. Use. Cabins. Cruising programme. Design preferences.
02
Search
Review publicly marketed and otherwise relevant market opportunities.
03
Shortlist
Identify the yachts worth your time.
04
Arrange
Request appointments with the relevant listing brokers, shipyards or representatives.
05

06
Compare
Review the strongest options together.
Yacht search
Tell us the yacht. We'll search the show.
A short brief is enough to begin. The more precise your criteria, the sharper the shortlist we can prepare before you land in Florida.
Viewing programme
Your FLIBS calendar. Built around the yachts.
Lund Group can coordinate requests with brokers, shipyards and representatives to create an efficient viewing schedule.
- 09:00Yacht A · 52m

All yacht viewings remain subject to confirmation from the relevant seller, listing broker, shipyard or representative. Sizes shown are illustrative of a viewing day, not specific yachts.
Buyer representation
The seller has a broker. So should you.
When purchasing a yacht, the listing broker represents the yacht and the seller.
Lund Group can act on the buyer side or coordinate with the appropriate co-brokerage structure depending on the transaction.

- Yacht shortlist
- Viewing coordination
- Price analysis
- Offer strategy
- Negotiation support
- Co-brokerage coordination
- Sea-trial coordination
- Survey specialist introductions
- Technical specialist introductions
- Maritime lawyer introductions
- Ownership-structure introductions
- Insurance introductions
- Registration / flag specialist introductions
- Closing coordination with the appropriate professionals
Legal, tax, technical, survey, flag and regulatory advice must be provided by qualified independent specialists where required.

New build
Sometimes the right yacht doesn't exist yet.
FLIBS is also an opportunity to meet international shipyards and explore new-build programmes.
For clients considering a new yacht, Lund Group can help structure a shortlist of builders according to your brief.

Lund Group is not a naval architect, surveyor or technical construction manager. Those roles are filled by qualified specialists appointed for your project.

Discretion
Not every yacht has a for sale sign.
Some owners are willing to consider offers without actively marketing their yacht publicly.
For qualified buyers, Lund Group can explore discreet market enquiries through its brokerage network. No specific off-market inventory is advertised or implied, and confidential yacht information is never published.
Make a discreet enquiryOwners
Coming to FLIBS as an owner?
Let's talk about your exit.
If you are considering selling your current yacht before moving into your next one, speak with Lund Group about brokerage strategy.
- Market positioning
- Pricing discussion
- Brokerage strategy
- Photography / content coordination
- Qualified buyer outreach
- Co-broker network
- Viewing management
- Negotiation
- Transaction coordination
A meaningful valuation requires vessel information, inspection and market analysis. We will not quote a figure before that work is done.
Charter
Not ready to buy? Charter first.
Chartering is one of the best ways to understand how you actually use a yacht — layout, range, crew, cruising rhythm and the size that genuinely suits your family.

- Caribbean
- Bahamas
- French Riviera

Other suitable South Florida airports can be used according to aircraft, customs and operational requirements. No single airport is universally best — the right choice depends on your aircraft, timing and clearance needs.
