In a world where nearly everything feels curated, the 44th edition of the Palm Beach International Boat Show is a sprawling nautical cornucopia. From Remigo electric dinghy motors to nine-figure superyachts—and just about everything in between—the five-day event delivers for serious buyers, curious spectators, and lifelong boat lovers alike.

Here are some of the highlights.

Hinckley Yachts
This Maine builder—renowned for its impeccably crafted dayboats and weekend cruisers—continues to pair innovation with classic style. Hinckley is actively acquiring service yards along the East Coast, expanding its ability to refit existing vessels while continuing to produce new builds. The standout at the show was its newly unveiled 45-foot Picnic Boat, a stunning evolution of the brand’s signature design. As CEO Gavin McClintock told Worth, “We are investing over $40 million in our future because we know we have the yachts that warrant the spend.”

Camper & Nicholsons
Feadship specialist broker Andrew LeBuhn of Camper & Nicholsons brought two classics to the show, including Malcolm Forbes’ famed yacht Highlander III. Both vessels are presented in showroom condition and aimed squarely at buyers who appreciate timeless yacht design as part of a lifestyle. Calypso—the former Highlander III—has undergone multimillion-dollar upgrades by an owner determined to perfect every detail. She is now available for a fraction of that investment. The photograph hanging in the day head, showing Andy Warhol aboard, comes with the purchase.

LeBuhn told Worth, “I love this show because it’s a transactional show. Many yachts at this show will sell—and a buyer can have them this summer.”

Morley Yachts
One of the show’s undeniable showstoppers is Casino Royale, presented by Tim Morley of Morley Yachts. Built by Tankoa, the Genovese yard known for quiet elegance and engineering excellence, the vessel reflects the vision of a serial superyacht owner who spared no expense in design or build. The yacht features a heliport, gym, massage room, expansive sauna, and an elevator connecting three decks. A crew of 18—including four engineers to manage the massive engine room—attends to just 12 guests in bespoke cabins designed by interior designer Margherita Casprini. Listed at roughly $74 million, Casino Royale is a nautical trophy waiting for its next owner.

Azimut Yachts
Azimut’s vessels are unmistakably Italian in both design and spirit. The family-owned company places equal emphasis on performance and the ownership experience. Randy Coleman, brand manager for Azimut Yachts at MarineMax—its exclusive U.S. dealer—explained that Azimut is confident enough in its product to build many models on spec. For buyers seeking what MarineMax’s senior vice president of global yacht sales Chuck Cashman calls a “pocket superyacht,” that means instant gratification. No waiting years for a build slot and then years more for construction. Instead, Coleman can deliver a fully realized yacht ready for summer cruising in New England.

Benetti
Another Italian icon, Benetti has been building yachts since 1873. The yard’s 1962 launch of Delfino helped define the classic modern yacht aesthetic. Two Benetti vessels appeared at the show, including Liv Love, a striking example of contemporary luxury. Designed by the renowned firm RWD, the 133-foot yacht features everything from expansive outdoor entertaining areas to a futuristic pilot house that could impress even the newest tech billionaire. For now, she’s available for charter—at several hundred thousand dollars per week.

Delta Marine
The state of American superyacht building is, frankly, challenging. Domestic yards struggle to compete with Dutch, German, Italian, and increasingly Turkish shipbuilders. Delta Marine of Seattle, however, is determined to buck the trend. The multigenerational family business has begun collaborating with leading European designers, and its new build Project Discovery is already turning heads. Delta’s quality remains exceptional, with many craftspeople representing multiple generations of shipbuilders. With this outward-looking approach, the yard is signaling that it is ready to compete again at the highest level.

J Craft
For those drawn to retro elegance, few boats at the show rival the speedsters produced by J Craft. Investor Radenko Milakovic has turned the brand into something of a passion project. If turning heads on the water is part of the appeal of boating—and for many owners it certainly is—J Craft’s lineup delivers.

Burgess
Leading sales and charter brokerage Burgess had a strong presence at the show. Senior partner Richard Lambert summed it up best: “This is the premier show in the premier place for both sales and charter. Our clients are here too. If we bring 10 boats to the show, two will be sold—and importantly, a few yacht journeys will begin.”

Oyster Yachts
One British builder—the Rolls-Royce of large sailing yachts—is studying the show closely. Oyster owner Richard Hadida walked the docks and left impressed. “I have checked it out,” he said, “and I think Oyster will have a presence next year. It’s the perfect show to launch our new models.”

The Twenty Five
A glimpse of the future: The Twenty Five is bringing luxury coastal travel to life with Seagliders.  Manufactured by Rhode Island-based startup, REGENT, these remarkable crafts first foil and then glide above the water at speeds of up to 180 mph.  Members of The Twenty Five will travel between coastal destinations quickly and comfortably, introducing an entirely new form of maritime travel. Their anticipated launch is slated for 2027.
