It would be a lot more compelling if all the yachts were the 2000 largest yachts in the world or at least all yachts sailing and motor 30+ meters.
The world's largest boat show is happening now here in Fort Lauderdale.[0] I just took all the data from their site. All the boats on the site are showing today at the boat show. I want to find the Best in Show like the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance has. I don't think the website communicates that.

- dasmoth 10y agoNo, it's nice to see vessels that mere mortals could conceivably afford on there! I went through about 10 pages and didn't see anything under sail, though... (Edit: okay, there's one sailing yacht in the top 48, and she's currently languishing at #36. It seems most people have a rather different idea of what a real yacht should look like!)
- zappo2938 10y agoThere are so few sailboats in the boat show right now. The motor yacht people and the sailboat people are like cats vs. dogs. There isn't much love between them. The boat show is for the Rodney Dangerfield in Caddy Shack type boaters.[0] [0] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVL4wKnpx2U https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVL4wKnpx2U
- yardie 10y agoYeah, if you're into sail this is not the convention for you. Annapolis just had their boat show which is oriented towards sailing. Strictly Sail Miami is in February.
- bambax 10y agoIt's fun and I like it. What's missing are prices, where can we find them?
- zappo2938 10y agoThanks. I'll take any feed back good or bad. The Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show is happening right now where I'm at. All these boats are at the Bahia Mar marina on showcase right now. All the information is from their website and that wasn't available.
