My Favorite Time of the Year is here!!! ___ Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show celebrating it's 52nd year
It’s that time of year again, one of my favorite all time South Florida Events. The Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show and this year it is going to be even more fabulous.
Fort Lauderdale, Florida, the “Yachting Capital of the World” will host the 52nd Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show on October 27-31, 2011. This year the Boat Show will cover six locations with over 3 million square feet of space for everyone to enjoy. This year they will be featuring more than $3 billion worth of boats, yachts, super yachts, electronics and engines, and thousands of boating accessories from every major marine manufacturer 
and boat builder across the globe, as well as exotic cars, clothing and jewellery. Sure they have much smaller boats, but the eye-catchers are certainly the big boats. The ones you can only dream about owning. They are massive and extremely impressive. 
Boat Show organizers have also announced that a block party — Boat Show Night Out — is set for 6-10 p.m. Oct. 19 in Esplanade Park on Second Street in downtown Fort Lauderdale.
The free, open-to-the-public event, set a week before the 52nd annual Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show opens, will feature live country music, DJs and more than 20 gourmet food trucks against a yacht-lined New River backdrop.
All event proceeds will be donated to Riverwalk Trust.
This year Boat Show’s transportation has a great network of bus shuttles, water taxis, and riverboats ensures attendees can easily navigate the boat show and its expansive waterways system. Added attractions this year include The Blue Wild Dive Show; IGFA’s School of Sport fishing and Hook the Future’s Kids Fishing Clinics.
Look at what is new this year!!!
Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show organizers announced the debut of MyBoatShow, the new smart phone app that will officially launch at this year's show.
The free app, available on iPhone and Android platforms, is designed to help people navigate the show's docks, land areas and tents. Attendees will be able to access show maps and search for exhibitors, manufacturers, product categories and boats by specifications and size.
