About the Palm Beach International Boat Show
The 2026 Palm Beach International Boat Show is one of the largest marine events in the United States. It takes place along Flagler Drive in West Palm Beach and stretches across several waterfront locations, including luxury exhibit spaces, floating docks, and the Superyacht Villas.
Some key facts about the show include:
- Over 600 exhibiting brands across the marine industry
- More than 800 boats on display, including superyachts and brokerage vessels
- Hundreds of thousands of visitors throughout the five-day event
According to organizers, the Palm Beach show attracts more than 55,000 attendees each year and generates significant economic impact for the region.
For yacht owners and brokers, the event is not only about viewing new vessels. It is also about planning upcoming cruising seasons, discussing yacht services, and coordinating global yacht logistics.
Our Global Team Together in One Place
One unique aspect of meeting our team at PBIBS is that our leadership travels from around the world to attend. Representatives from our offices in Belgium join our North American team so that visitors can speak directly with the people responsible for yacht transport operations.
This gathering of our global leadership rarely happens in one location. The Palm Beach show gives yacht owners a rare chance to sit down with the decision makers who coordinate international yacht transport.
“Moving a yacht across an ocean requires detailed planning and experienced people. Events like PBIBS allow owners and captains to meet the team responsible for that process and discuss their transport plans face to face,” says Paul Haber, President.
What It Takes to Move a Yacht Across an Ocean
Yacht transportation services are a complex logistical operation that requires coordination between engineers, port authorities, captains, and specialized crew members. Each yacht requires careful planning before it is lifted onto a transport vessel.
Our operations team manages every step, including:
- Vessel measurements and cradle preparation
- Lift planning and load sequencing
- Weather and route analysis
- Port scheduling and arrival coordination
Our loadmasters oversee the physical loading process. Their work involves safely securing yachts on the decks of transport ships designed specifically for yacht carriage.
“Every loading operation is the result of weeks of planning. Our team studies each yacht, the vessel carrying it, and the port conditions to make sure the process runs smoothly,” says Jiles Dheere, Operations Manager.
Scheduled Yacht Transport Routes Around the World
Cross Chartering operates regularly scheduled sailings to many of the most important yachting destinations in the world. These routes allow yacht owners to move vessels efficiently between seasonal cruising regions.
Typical yacht transport destinations include:
- United States to the Mediterranean
- Mediterranean to the Caribbean
- Florida to the Pacific coast
- Northern Europe to global cruising destinations
These sailings help yacht owners avoid long offshore passages while reducing wear on engines and onboard systems.
“Reliable sailing schedules allow yacht owners and captains to plan their seasons with confidence. Our chartering and operations teams work closely together so that each transport voyage runs according to plan,” says Christophe Thienpont, Chief Executive Officer.
