Running from March 25 to 29, the show brings together over 200 superyachts, more than 600 exhibitors, and a fleet valued in the billions, alongside a strong lineup of debuts and superyachts for sale that continue to position Palm Beach as a key early-season marketplace.

By the Numbers: A Strong Start for Palm Beach 2026
The Palm Beach International Boat Show 2026 opens with 211 superyachts on display, spanning 7.59 kilometers of dock space. The fleet averages 36m in length and 10.45 years in age, making it one of the more modern lineups in recent editions, with 134 debuts already confirmed.
Motor yachts dominate, accounting for 99% of the fleet, while 1,286 crew are present across the show. The scale is matched by strong market activity, with 185 yachts for sale carrying a combined asking value of $2.7 billion. Average asking price has risen to $14.4 million, continuing a steady increase from 2024 and 2025.
Although slightly down from last year’s 193 yachts for sale, the total remains well above 2024 levels, while both average age and pricing point to a newer, higher-value brokerage fleet. The average yacht for sale measures 35.41 meters and is just over 11 years old.
High-Value Brokerage Yachts Lead the Lineup
At the top end of the market, Palm Beach 2026 brings together a tight group of high-value superyachts that underline the show’s commercial weight. Leading the lineup is the 76.5m Feadship Boardwalk V. Delivered in 2021 and recently refitted, the Feadship yacht pairs Dutch pedigree with a highly considered layout, including a three-sided beach club and a large mosaic-lined sundeck pool. She is on the market with Y.CO for €149,000,000.
Close behind is the 75.2m Kensho. Delivered in 2022 and one of the most awarded yachts of recent years, the Admiral yachts stands out for her distinctive exterior lines and diesel-electric propulsion, alongside a design approach that prioritizes open, flowing interior spaces. Kensho is listed for sale on YachtBuyer and is currently asking €124,500,000.
The largest yacht in this group is the 78.4m Rocinante. Designed by Espen Øino with interiors by Alberto Pinto, this Lürssen superyacht brings serious volume at 2,334GT, along with features such as a certified helideck, full wellness area, and transatlantic range. Following a 2024 refit, she is on the market with Y.CO and is asking €88,500,000.
Further down the size range but still firmly within the upper tier, the 72m Casino Royale is listed at €62 million with IYC. Delivered in 2018, the Tankoa Yacht remains a standout for her expansive beach club, private owner’s deck, and a layout that prioritizes outdoor living, supported by long-range capability of over 9,000 nautical miles. Rounding out the selection, the 62m Alchemist represents newer-generation steel construction with a private owner’s deck and fold-out beach club terraces. The Sanlorenzo superyacht Alchemist is listed for sale on YachtBuyer and is currently asking €64,000,000.
A Broad Mix of New Models Across the Market
This year’s Palm Beach International Boat Show places clear emphasis on new model launches, with several key world debuts spanning both the superyacht and production sectors.
Leading the lineup is the Westport W135, making its first public appearance as the successor to the long-running W130. At just under 41 meters, the raised pilothouse design introduces more volume, updated systems, and emissions-ready engineering, while retaining the 25-knot performance profile associated with the Westport platform.
Alongside it, the Numarine 40MXP takes a different approach, evolving the Numarine 37XP into a 40-meter explorer with a stronger focus on outdoor living. An expanded aft deck, full-beam beach club connection, and 6,000-nautical-mile range position the Numarine model clearly for long-range cruising, with its Palm Beach debut marking a push into the US market. At a smaller scale, the Fairline Targa 47 GT revives a familiar name with a more flexible layout, shifting the 15m Fairline platform toward a broader cruising brief.
Elsewhere, a broad mix of production debuts adds depth to the world debut lineup:
- Galeon 520 FLY - 17.2m flybridge yacht with a strong focus on outdoor living and social deck spaces
- Solaris Power 52 Open ST - 16.2m sportsboat capable of speeds over 35 knots, designed for day use and short cruising
- Manari 52 - 15.85m model introducing a new entry in the mid-size luxury day boat segment
- Viking 50BF - 15.75m sportfishing yacht built around offshore performance and tournament capability
- Aquila 45 Sport - 14.17m power catamaran designed for day use and short-range cruising
- Scout 670 LXF - 20.35m flagship center console, pushing the upper limits of outboard-powered luxury boats

Beyond World Debuts - Notable US and Show Premieres
Several important models are making either their first US appearance or their Palm Beach show debut, giving buyers a first close look at yachts that have already started to build momentum elsewhere. Among the strongest US debuts is the Saxdor 460 GTC, a 14.4m outboard-powered Saxdor cruiser that moves the brand into a larger, more capable bracket with a full-glass wheelhouse, fold-down terraces, and genuine weekending potential.
The next-generation Ferretti 800 also arrives for its first US showing, bringing refreshed exterior styling, a redesigned 40-square-meter flybridge, and a bright four-cabin layout to one of the market’s most competitive flybridge yacht segments.
For buyers drawn to open and fast cruising formats, the Solaris Power 60 Open ST and Axopar 38 XC Cross Cabin add two very different takes on performance-led boating, while Riviera’s 5600 Sports Yacht Platinum Edition brings a bluewater-focused sports cruiser to the mix.
On the show-debut side, the range is equally broad. The 38.36-meter Custom Line Saetta 120' stands out at the larger end, while models such as the Princess S80, Horizon FD80, and the Pearl 63 give Palm Beach a strong spread of premium production yachts making their first appearance at the event.

More to See at Palm Beach
While the yachts remain central, Palm Beach 2026 is structured to guide visitors through a broader mix of onshore and waterfront experiences. Along Flagler Drive, dedicated areas showcase tenders, water toys, and marine technology, with the AquaZone standing out as a focal point for live demonstrations and hands-on displays of the latest gear and watersports equipment.
At the upper end, the Superyacht Show Palm Beach creates a more private setting for larger yachts, supported by VIP lounges and controlled access. Elsewhere, the show leans into its lifestyle setting with luxury exhibitors, waterfront dining, and a program of seminars and talks that add context to the market, creating a more rounded experience between yacht visits.
As the docks fill and viewings begin, Palm Beach 2026 sets a clear tone for the season ahead, balancing scale, active brokerage inventory, and a steady flow of new models entering the market.
