Welcome to the Sunshine State, home to one of the largest in-water boat shows in the world. From 29 October to 2 November, the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show<\/a> (FLIBS) is set to showcase yachts never before seen in US waters. This year’s edition has already confirmed several spectacular debutantes, including a brand-new Sunseeker<\/a> model and a steely entry from a Brazilian yard. BOAT spotlights a selection…<\/p>\n

Juanky <\/p>\n

Builder: Cheoy Lee<\/a>
Length: 39.7m<\/p>\n

The first unit in Cheoy Lee’s new explorer series will be debuting in Fort Lauderdale this year. At 39.7 metres and 420GT, Juanky<\/a> has been designed and built to “handle the demands of bluewater adventures around the globe” and features robust lines by American firm Overing Yacht Designs<\/a>. The social hub is undoubtedly the covered flybridge, arranged with a bar and an al fresco dining table. A foredeck Jacuzzi, a “cocktail” skylounge and dedicated tender and water toy storage complete the list of leisure amenities on board.<\/p>\n

Ocean Alexander 37L <\/p>\n

Builder: Ocean Alexander<\/a>
Length: 37.2m<\/p>\n

Another tri-deck model, the latest unit in the Ocean Alexander 37L series will be attending this year’s show. Longstanding collaborator Evan K. Marshall<\/a> is behind her design, which improves upon the layout of the 36L with a main deck owner’s cabin. Another clever touch is the foldout deck in the aft beach club, which can be expanded and used as a watersports take-off point during the day and a drinks area or indoor cinema at night. Other amenities include a formal dining area and entertainment systems, complete with stereo sound capacity, in the saloon, flybridge and skylounge.<\/p>\n

Castlefinn <\/p>\n

Builder: Mulder Shipyard<\/a>
Length: 36m<\/p>\n

Castlefinn<\/a> is the eighth Mulder ThirtySix model, launched this May in Zoeterwoude, the Netherlands. As an evolution of previous sisterships such as Seaflower<\/a> and Solemates<\/a>, the semi-custom yacht offers “more flexibility […] whilst still maintaining the all-important Mulder DNA,” according to the shipyard. The exterior design was headed up by Claydon Reeves Design Studio<\/a>, while naval architecture is owed to Van Oossanen Naval Architects<\/a>. A “renewed foredeck” is \u00a0the model highlight, where owners can enjoy ocean views from a private lounge area complete with a U-shaped sofa and sunbeds.<\/p>\n

Romeo Foxtrot II <\/p>\n

Builder: Hargrave Superyachts<\/a>
Length: 35.9m<\/p>\n

The tri-deck Romeo Foxtrot II<\/a> is the owners’ third Hargrave to date, following in the wake of the 29.9-metre Tigers Eye<\/a> and 35.4-metre Romeo Foxtrot<\/a>. The focus on this new build was to create “intimate, thoughtful gathering areas”, according to lead designer Shelley Dicondina, including a breakfast settee inside the galley and a sundeck with waterfall-style spa with a glass face, sunbeds, bar and an al fresco dining table. Other interior highlights include head heights of 2.2 metres and a design that incorporates “exotic veneers” and “superior-quality marble”.<\/p>\n

Builder: Ocean Alexander<\/a>
Length: 35.2m<\/p>\n

The “R” in Ocean Alexander 35R stands for “Revolution”, with visitors able to see what sets this design apart at the 2025 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show. Her generous volume (298GT) is often cited, as is the full-width main deck and bridge deck with its wet bar and Jacuzzi. Accommodation is for up to 10 guests across five cabins, with the model also lending herself well to the charter market<\/a> thanks to the separation of crew and guests.<\/p>\n

Sea Boss <\/p>\n

Builder: Inace<\/a>
Length: 32m<\/p>\n

The first unit in the Aventura 106 series, Sea Boss<\/a> has a glinting, military-style exterior by long-standing collaborator Fernando De Almeida<\/a>, also responsible for her interiors. Those visiting Fort Lauderdale will be able to appreciate the Brazilian studio’s work, including living spaces furnished with “high-end materials”, as well as her generous exterior decks complete with al fresco dining, seating and an upper deck Jacuzzi. Key numbers include a 7.15-metre beam and a range of 3,200 nautical miles.<\/p>\n

Horizon FD100 <\/p>\n

Builder: Horizon Yachts<\/a>
Length: 30.9m<\/p>\n

A popular series (there are 10 currently on the water, according to BOATPro<\/a>), the latest Horizon FD100 will be present in Fort Lauderdale this year. Available in a Skyline or Tri-Deck version, the model offers five cabins, including a full-beam master suite on the main deck. The Tri-Deck option offers a lightweight open flybridge (equipped with a helm), alongside a bridge deck with Jacuzzi, bar and skylounge, while the Skyline configuration provides a large wheelhouse with enclosed skylounge aft.<\/p>\n

SX100 <\/p>\n

Builder: Sanlorenzo<\/a>
Length: 30.5m<\/p>\n

The SX100 will also be docking in Fort Lauderdale, for visitors curious to see what makes this crossover design from the Italian yard so popular (BOATPro<\/a> reports 10 units on the water). Much like the larger SX112, the SX100 features an exterior by Zuccon International Project <\/a>and shares the same staple features, such as cut-out bulwarks, a reverse windscreen, fold-down sea terraces and a crane integrated into the superstructure. However, there are several key departures from its siblings, including the owner’s cabin, which is positioned forward on the main deck, and two internal staircases that improve indoor “flow”.<\/p>\n

Ferretti 940 <\/p>\n

Builder: Ferretti Yachts<\/a>
Length: 28.7m<\/p>\n

Unveiled at last year’s Cannes Yachting Festival<\/a>, the Ferretti 940 has already proved a popular series, with BOATPro<\/a> reporting seven units already delivered or in production. With a length of 29 metres and a beam of 6.8 metres, the model has been praised for her five-cabin layout (accommodating 10), versatile exterior areas and striking new addition of floor-to-ceiling glazing. Exterior and interiors are by longstanding collaborators Filippo Salvetti<\/a> and IdeaeITALIA<\/a>, respectively, with visitors able to see her warm, contemporary living spaces \u2013\u00a0befitting a “seagoing home”\u00a0\u2013 for the first time.<\/p>\n

SP92 <\/p>\n

Builder: Sanlorenzo<\/a>
Length: 28m<\/p>\n

The SP92 is the second model in the Italian yard\u2019s new smart performance (SP) line and follows in the footsteps of the 33.5-metre SP110. An impressive maximum speed of 40 knots sets this design apart, as does a low, 1.2-metre draught and a 45-square-metre beach area, with the latter capable of being customised with a retractable door that conceals the garage. Accommodation is for up to eight guests and four crew, with interiors spread across four levels.<\/p>\n

Falcon <\/p>\n

Builder: Palm Beach Motor Yachts
Length: 27.6m<\/p>\n

The Malaysian yard’s “largest and most ambitious” project to date, Falcon belongs to the PB85 series, which shadows the previous flagship, the PB70, by six metres. A key focus is comfortable crew well-being, with spacious living quarters and well-appointed living areas. The main deck is characterised by a convenient and sociable single-level living and entertaining space, including the saloon, which stretches from the forward helm station to the covered cockpit. Meanwhile, a generous aft deck offers exceptional views and easy access to the water.<\/p>\n

Horizon FD90 <\/p>\n

Builder: Horizon Yachts<\/a>
Length: 27.5m<\/p>\n

The most successful model in the Taiwanese yard’s FD range, the FD90 features a 7.1-metre beam, a main-deck owner’s cabin, four additional guest cabins and large windows in the saloon. Her walkaround bridge deck design results in easy access to the forward seating areas, which can be customised with refrigeration, storage, Biminis and more. Each FD90 is equipped with a spacious beach club and swim platform aft and is assisted by the “High Performance Piercing Bow” and hull design.<\/p>\n

SL86A <\/p>\n

Builder: Sanlorenzo<\/a>
Length: 26.8m<\/p>\n

According to the Italian yard, the SL86A represents a “new evolution in the asymmetry concept” as seen in the earlier SL102 and SL96 models. The asymmetric layout eliminates the port-side corridor while retaining the one on the starboard side, allowing for a full-height window overlooking the sea on one side, and a living room opening onto a balcony on the other. Visitors at this year’s FLIBS will be able to explore her open-plan main deck and minimalist aft deck, which allows the SL86A to sail without a visible staircase for clean ocean views.<\/p>\n

Pearl 82 <\/p>\n

Builder: Pearl Yachts<\/a>
Length: 25.3m<\/p>\n

Following Pearly Spencer<\/a>‘s US debut at last year’s show, the next Pearl 82 has arrived in Fort Lauderdale. The model features a raised pilothouse design with two aft deck configurations and a semi-walkaround deck with a forward master suite and private forepeak terrace. The company claims that the Pearl 82 is the only yacht in her class to offer this type of configuration, with Pearl Yachts managing director, Iain Smallridge, calling her “the most compact superyacht on the market”.<\/p>\n

Sunseeker 82 Ocean Enclosed <\/p>\n

Builder: Sunseeker<\/a>
Length: 25.1m<\/p>\n

The Sunseeker 82 Ocean Enclosed is named after its entirely closed upper deck and single helm station, leaving ample space on board for multi-purpose use. The upper deck has similarities to a Portuguese deck with more space, allowing usable, social areas for seating, sunpads and spa tub options. Also worthy of note is the main saloon, which has a “luxury penthouse apartment feel” and can be customised with multiple arrangements, including an open galley and dining aft with a bar area forward.<\/p>\n

Sapphire I <\/p>\n

Builder: Princess Yachts <\/a>
Length: 25.4m<\/p>\n

Sapphire I<\/a> is the first unit in the British yard’s brand-new sportsbridge series, the S80. The flagship of the S Class range, the S80 was developed in collaboration with naval architects from Olesinski<\/a> and Italian design house Pininfarina<\/a>. Her 28.7-square-metre flybridge is worth seeing at the show, with multiple seating areas, a wet bar and a barbecue. The space is also equipped with a convertible dining table and functions as an outdoor cinema with a rise-and-fall television. This has been a busy season for Princess, which announced its re-entry into the superyacht segment at this year’s Monaco Yacht Show<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Welcome to the Sunshine State, home to one of the largest in-water boat shows in the world.
