Here\u2019s a baker\u2019s dozen of boats we think rate \u201cmust-see\u201d status at the 2024 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show.<\/a> From fishing boats to luxury boats to deck boats, these craft all share one thing in common: they possess some new, different or\u00a0interesting design, construction or layout characteristics that we think boat buyers who consider themselves true fans\u00a0of powerboats will be interested in learning about.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve included the location of each of these must-see boats at either the Bahia Mar Marina or the Broward County Convention Center. Download the FLIBS app (available on both Google Play and the Apple Store). Map your route, hit the show and get your boat geek on!<\/p>\n
