YachtForums: A Worldwide Digital Yacht Show

YachtForums: A Worldwide Digital Yacht Show​

The 2025 edition of the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS) is in the history books. Attendance was good despite increased ticket prices and the time consuming logistics of attending the show. 20 years ago we began doing live coverage of FLIBS; walking the docks by day, uploading news by night. As the Internet and the 24-hour news cycle evolved, our daily coverage of the yachting industry became a worldwide digital boat show. Today, our daily attendance exceeds all 5 days of FLIBS. At YF, there is no parking fee, no entrance fee and your feet will never tire from walking our docks.

During the 5 days of FLIBS, attendance at YachtForums was as follows:

Day 1. Wednesday October 29th: 81,667
Day 2. Thursday October 30th: 84,506
Day 3. Friday October 31st: 91,145
Day 4. Saturday November 1st: 132,653
Day 5. Sunday November 2nd: 189,039

We don't do PowerPoint presentations. Anyone can fudge the numbers. We take screen shots of our control panel. It's worth noting, we don't use social media to drive traffic. ALL of our traffic comes from yachting related keywords in search engines. This brings us visitors with intent, not curiosity seekers.
