The Palm Beach International Boat show is here!

A Relaxed, High‑End Waterfront Show

Unlike some of the larger, more chaotic shows, Palm Beach keeps things walkable and refined. Docks line the Intracoastal Waterway, with everything from center consoles and family cruisers to full‑blown superyachts tied stern‑to along the quay. Just across the water, the superyacht section adds an extra layer of glamour, with some of the largest yachts in the world available to tour by appointment.

Big News: New Models Making Their Debut

This year’s show is especially interesting for anyone who likes to be first in line for a new model. Several builders chose Palm Beach for world or U.S. premieres:

• Westport 135 Raised Pilothouse (W135)
A major new launch from American builder Westport, this 41‑meter raised pilothouse yacht is designed for speed, comfort, and long‑range cruising. It brings a fresher, more contemporary look to the yard’s lineup, with a generous sundeck, beach‑club style stern, and a full‑beam owner’s suite.

• Galeon 520 FLY
Galeon (Our personal favorite) is showing off its brand‑new 520 FLY, a flybridge yacht that focuses on social spaces and clever use of volume. The model features fold‑out “beach mode” terraces that open the cockpit up to the water, plus a spacious flybridge and bright, open‑plan main deck.

• Numarine 40MXP Explorer
For long‑range adventure, Numarine’s new 40MXP is a standout. It’s a 40‑meter explorer yacht with a big aft deck, pool, and beach‑club setup, designed to spend serious time on the hook while still offering the range and efficiency you want for crossing oceans.

• Manari 52
A fresh face on the scene, Manari Yachts is introducing its first model, the Manari 52. This performance‑oriented 52‑footer is built for speed and style, using Volvo IPS drives and a modern, sporty profile aimed at owners who want both luxury and a thrill at the helm.

• Sirena 60 (U.S. debut)
Sirena Yachts is bringing its new 60‑footer to U.S. audiences for the first time. With a focus on volume, range, and comfortable long‑distance cruising, it’s targeted squarely at owners who want a capable family yacht that can go far without feeling cramped.

Not Just Superyachts

Beyond the big names, the docks are full of new and updated models in the 30–60 foot range: outboard‑powered dayboats, express cruisers, and family‑friendly flybridge designs. These smaller releases bring new layouts, more efficient hulls, and increasingly sophisticated technology down to sizes that suit weekend boaters as much as full‑time cruisers.

A Snapshot of Where Boating Is Headed

Taken together, this year’s new releases reveal a few clear trends: more beach‑club and terrace spaces right at the waterline, more efficient hulls for longer range at lower speeds, and a strong emphasis on flexible, social layouts. Whether you’re in the market or just walking the docks to dream, the 2026 Palm Beach International Boat Show is the place to be.
