The Palm Beach International Boat Show takes place March 25 to 29, 2026. At this event, some 800 boats will be on display at a show that is integrated into the city of West Palm Beach. It is one of our favorite shows.
To help you better spend your time on the docks (and on land) we’ve put together this list of boats representing the hottest boating trends in 2026. We’ve included the location of each boat in its description. If you want to buy advance tickets to the Palm Beach Boat Show, you can do so at the link below.
Jeanneau TH33
This catamaran, with twin outboard power, offers tremendous space due to its wide-beam and its twin hulls deliver a super smooth and stable ride. Check this model, along with its big sister the TH38, at the 2026 Palm Beach International Boat Show, Ramp 7.
Navan T30
We reported on this boat during its world debut in Germany back in January, and in our recently released video. Now, you can see it on display at the Palm Beach International Boat Show, on the Marine Max docks, at Ramp 6.
Grady-White Canyon 456
Can you say, ”Mega Grady?” The Grady-White Canyon 456 stands as the flagship of the Grady fleet. Powered by 1,800 horsepower it reaches speeds near 60-mph. More than just a bluewater boat, this Grady evinces luxury and craftsmanship. Shown by Mariner Marine, see it at Ramp 11/IW 1140.
Sea Ray SLX 360 OB
The new Sea Ray SLX 360 OB is on display at the 2026 Palm Beach International Boat Show. This is a luxury outboard-powered dayboat. We are testing it soon. In the meantime, don’t miss this new Sea Ray on the Marine Max dock at Ramp 6.
Formula 360 Crossover Bowrider
Our test of Formula’s 360 CBR proves the vessel’s quality, versatility and luxury. Naturally, it performs at a top level, blasting past 63 mph. You can see it at the Palm Beach Boat Show via Ramp 10.
Scout 670 w/Bridge
When Scout Boats introduced the world’s largest outboard-powered sport yacht, the Scout 670 LXS, (also Boating’s 2025 Sport Yacht Category Winner) a promise was made that a flying bridge version would follow. Consider that commitment met: Scout debuts the 670 LXF at the 2026 Palm Beach International Boat Show. See it on the Marine Max dock, at Ramp 6.
Monterey Elite 30
Blending European style with American practicality and a unique helm arrangement, the Monterey Elite 30 was awarded Boating’s 2024 Boat of the Year. This boat is sleek, functional and fun, delivering great performance to go with its other attributes. See it at Ramp 9.
Beneteau Antares 12 Coupe
Faithful to the Antares range, the Antares 12 Coupe affirms its position as a versatile family cruiser, designed for long-distance sailing in all latitudes. Benefiting from proven expertise and complementing the Antares 12 Fly, it combines comfort, elegance and innovation with a spirit of shared pleasure and serenity. See it at Ramp 11
Boston Whaler 330 Outrage
Boston Whaler is an iconic boat brand, known for their unsinkable hulls and high-quality construction. Now, Whaler adds stepped hulls to its list of attributes. On display at Palm Beach Boat Show you can see the very first model with a “Whaler Step” hullform, the 330 Outrage. See it on the Marine Max dock at Ramp 6.
Aquila 36 Molokai
Double your angling pleasure, and cut the bumps and bangs of running offshore in half, with this catamaran fishing boat from Aquila. Powered by Mercury outboards and outfitted to capture a trophy catch, it can be seen on the Marine Max docks accessed via Ramp 6.
Fairline Targa 47 GT
The new Fairline Targa 47 GT combines the Targa dynamic of offering confident styling and sophisticated living spaces, with sports-boat-like handling and agility. It is represented in the US by Strong’s Marine and may be seen on the docks at Ramp 3.
Godfrey Hurricane 3200
Of the Godfrey Hurricane 3200, one of our most experienced contributing editors, Charles Plueddeman wrote: “Boat buyers from swingin’ singles to empty nesters will enjoy the SunDeck 3200. It’s packed with a lot of great design features.” This is a deck boat that has evolved and grown to fit the modern boating lifestyle. See it at the Marine Connection display on Ramp 10.
Saxdor 460 GTC
We brought you coverage of this boat’s world debut from Dusseldorf in January, where it achieved widespread acclaim from boat buyers and the media. Now, she’s here at Palm Beach: the Saxdor 460 GTC. See it at Ramp 10.
Regal 43 SAV
Honored as Boating’s Adventure Boat Category Winner for 2025, the Regal 43 SAV offers versatility, performance and room for an extended family, or literally, a boatload of friends. It is equipped to fish, offers a great cabin for weekend cruising and its deck expands like that of a superyacht. The “Garm-Rests” (personal MFDs) at the helm impressed us, too, as did the fit, finish and build quality. See it at Ramp 8/9…
