Eternity is one of the 5 biggest yachts on display at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show
Hill Robinson
The docks are in. Over 1,300 boats—superyachts, sport fishing boats, sailboats, electric-powered boats, center console boats, expedition boats, high-horsepower speed boats, charter boats, jet skis, stand-up-paddle boards, jet boats, and SeaBobs of all shapes, sizes and colors—will be on display at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show next week. Here’s a sneak peak of the five biggest that I’m excited to see when I’m there next week.

HAMPSHIRE’s bright and airy Harrison Eidsgaard-designed interior has a cool contemporary New England vibe. In addition to being fitted out with gorgeous woodwork and luxurious Tai Ping silk rugs, HAMPSHIRE’s layout is also has a myriad of interior and exterior spaces entertaining across multiple decks.

There’s a formal dining room which accommodates up to 14 guests. But the space also has floor-to-ceiling windows which open onto the port deck so it’s much more open than traditional formal dining rooms

The ultra-private owner’s suite seems to have it all: fold-out balcony, private seating areas and of course, secret bridge access. The beach club that boasts a spacious swim platform, a lower-deck spa complex including a sauna, massage and beauty room, and a sundeck hot tub that’s flanked by ample sun pads. And oh yeah, there’s a full-on gym up on the top deck of the 217-foot-long Feadship too.
ETERNITY

ETERNITY is 213-feet-long. She was built by Codecasa in 2010 and refitted in 2022. And she offers accommodation for 12 guests in seven suites including the master stateroom on the main deck, four guest doubles and two twin cabins. I’m not sure if you could tell by the photo or not, but ETERNITY specializes in cruising the blue, blue waters of the Bahamas.

Since the crew have extensive local knowledge, and the yacht is based at the exclusive Albany resort, guests will be treated to all the best things to do and see in the Bahamas.

ETERNITY also has a killer sun deck that features cushioned sun pads and a bar that enjoys elevated views. And there’s a large hot tub that doubles as an exercise pool with several current resistance speeds too.
SYCARA V
Sycara V is one of the largest yachts at the 2025 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show
IYC
SYCARA V is 224-feet-long and was launched by Nobiskrug in 2010. But she’s also had a major refits in 2017 and 2024. As with most yachts in this size range, SYCRA V can wrap 12 guests in the lap of luxury in seven different cabins that offer a variety of bed options.

And if that’s not enough, the lounge on the main deck can be converted into a VIP suite as well. Cool exterior dining and lounging areas can be found across the yacht’s three decks. And with the ability to have 16 professional full time crew, SYCARA V’s crew-to-guest ratio is in the luxury sweet spot.
Kaiser
KAISER was built by Abeking and Rasmussen and combines Donald Starkey’s streamlined exterior design with a custom interior by Bannenberg & Rowell. The full-beam Owner’s Stateroom, positioned forward on the main deck, features a private lounge area, his-and-hers ensuites, and panoramic views.

On the lower deck, 4 guest staterooms include a convertible full-beam VIP. The bridge deck hosts a multi-purpose suite, ideal as a nanny cabin, office, or wellness space. KAISER also features a generous beach club with direct access to a a private wellness area at water level.
CASINO ROYALE is an Amels 242 Limited Edition, one of the most successful designs in the Amels Limited Editions series. The exterior styling is by designer Tim Heywood. The main aft deck features a large party area complete with dance floor, bar, and a 20-foot-long infinity pool. And full-height windows around the main deck and owner’s deck maximize natural light and spectacular views, while also creating a seamless connection between interior and exterior spaces. With accommodation for up to 12 guests in six staterooms (plus a crew of 20), CASINO ROYALE is an excellent example of the successful series by the Dutch superyacht shipbuilder that also builds the Amels 60, Amels 80, as well as Damen Yachting’s Xplorer and Yacht Support lines.
