If chilling on a superyacht isn’t enough for you, and you really wanted to push the boat out, you can purchase a VIP Boat Show experience. A VIP ticket is $225 per person, per day, which includes your show ticket, a water taxi and entrance to the Windward Club. The Windward VIP Club Lounge is located in the heart of the superyacht area. It offers an open bar with gourmet food and air conditioning – in case the Florida heat gets too much!
The largest yacht showing at this year’s event is an enormous 257 ft. superyacht. This accommodates up to twelve guests, 25 crew members and will cost a staggering one million dollars per week to charter. The Yacht, built by the superb Lurssen shipyard is named TV. This is a fitting name, considering that when this is in your vicinity, you won’t be watching anything else. TV is designed by Alberto Pinto and Espen Oeino and boasts causal South Beach inspired décor. With floor to ceiling windows, 180-degree views from the master suite, a counter-current swimming pool, and helicopter pad, TV is definitely designed with luxury in mind. You can find her docked at the Pier 66 marina. Dock 501-503.
The show will feature more than $3 billion worth of boats from every major player in the marine manufacturing world.
