Engaging experiences, new beginnings, and lasting friendships inspire ideas for future innovations.
Five exhilarating days, more than 100,000 attendees, over 1,000 exhibitors from 52 countries, and a fleet upwards of 1,300 boats on display — such was the grand scale of the largest in-water boat show in the world, the 65th Annual Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS). From October 30th to November 3rd, Horizon Yacht USA was at the forefront of this remarkable event with an impressive lineup that included the debut of the stunning FD100 Tri-Deck alongside a brand-new FD80, as well as FD75 and E90 models.
The Horizon Team welcomed numerous guests to tour the vessels for a firsthand experience of the customized features and exceptional craftsmanship that exemplify Horizon Yachts. Up close, it was easy for many attendees to envision their yachting adventures. The four yachts on display this year were well received, with particular excitement surrounding the larger FD100 Tri-Deck and news of the soon-to-arrive FD110 Tri-Deck.
Throughout the event, the Horizon Yacht USA team was pleased to facilitate new ownership opportunities for several showcased vessels, while also laying the groundwork for future builds. For both new clients and current Horizon owners who envisage and are planning for their next yachts, the team was on hand to bring those visions to life.
A standout moment during the five days was the VIP Cocktail Reception, where Horizon owners, their guests, and members of the media gathered to mingle and network in a lively atmosphere. With delightful hors d’oeuvres served, live music, and a sense of community that’s always present at Horizon Yachts get-togethers, the evening was a celebration of all things yachting.
Boat shows are always a lot of fun for the Horizon Yacht USA team. FLIBS is more than just an exhibition — it’s a thrilling opportunity to connect with new faces and reconnect with long-time friends. Spending time touring the models with other yacht enthusiasts is a great way to envision future plans and new models, while also discovering innovative ideas for the Horizon line.
Thank you to all those who attended and being a part of the Horizon family. We can’t wait to see you at next year’s Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (Oct 29th to Nov 2nd, 2025)!
