Meet Us In Fort Lauderdale

The first FLIBS started in 1959 with just 13 exhibitors, including five boat dealers who were trying to sell off their leftover inventory at War Memorial Auditorium. In 2021 FLIBS has grown to over 100,000 attendees, 1,000 exhibitors representing 52 countries with more than 1,300 boats on display and spanning over three million square feet of exhibition space—which totals more than an astounding 90 acres! Even during the pandemic, FLIBS attendees would not be deterred. In 2020, while many events saw significantly less attendance from their loyal followers, FLIBS only saw a 20% decline in attendance. As the country recovers from the pandemic FLIBS attendance will no doubt be even higher in 2021.

DLBA Naval Architects is excited to be joining in the mix to return with our display to meet with clients and other industry members.  We look forward to seeing the latest in yachting and just talking boats.  Come by our booth 636, we can’t wait to be back at FLIBS!
