The Miami Boat Show turns Biscayne Bay into the largest floating showroom in the world for five days. Officially called the Discover Boating Miami International Boat Show, it fills marinas on both sides of the bay with everything from center consoles to superyachts. For buyers at ORA by Casa Tua in Brickell, it is one of the most convenient big events of the year, because the downtown docks are minutes away.

When Is the Miami Boat Show 2027?

The 2027 Miami Boat Show is scheduled for February 10 through February 14, 2027. The event spreads across Miami Beach and downtown Miami, with exhibits at the Miami Beach Convention Center and in-water displays at several marinas, including downtown locations near Museum Park. Venue lists can shift from year to year, so check the official show site before you buy tickets.

Miami Boat Show at a Glance

8 Essential Tips for the Miami Boat Show

Split the show into land and water days. Engines, electronics and smaller boats are at the convention center. Big boats and yachts are in the water.
Use the water taxis. Shuttle boats link the venues and are faster than driving across the causeway.
Book appointments with brokers. Serious buyers schedule private walkthroughs rather than waiting in line.
Go early on weekdays. Opening day and weekday mornings are calmer than the weekend.
Dress for sun and docks. Boat shoes, sunscreen and a hat matter more than you think.
Ask about dockage before you buy. Slip availability in Miami is tight, so plan where the boat will live.
Plan dinner on the mainland. Brickell restaurants are a short ride from the downtown docks.
Look at the shore, too. Many boaters use show week to compare waterfront residences.

Brickell: The Boater’s Neighborhood

Brickell sits on Biscayne Bay between downtown and Coconut Grove. Marinas, the Rickenbacker Causeway to Key Biscayne and the Miami River are all close by. During the Miami Boat Show, that location matters. You can visit downtown displays in the morning, cross to Miami Beach in the afternoon and be back home in time for dinner without a hotel shuttle.

Why Miami Boat Show Buyers Look at ORA by Casa Tua

ORA by Casa Tua is a 76-story residential tower at 1210 Brickell Avenue, designed with the team behind Casa Tua. Owners get bay and city views, residences delivered fully finished and an amenity program built for entertaining. For boaters, a lock-and-leave home on the mainland pairs well with a slip nearby or a yacht kept in a managed marina.

The building’s flexible rental policy allows stays of three days or more, which lets owners lease the residence during peak events like the Miami Boat Show when demand is high. Our team can walk you through rental math and compare it with current ORA by Casa Tua prices.

Planning Your Miami Boat Show Trip

Arrive a day before the Miami Boat Show opens so you can walk the downtown docks while exhibitors are still setting up. Reserve a car for the convention center day and rely on water taxis for marina hops. If you are shopping for a yacht and a home at the same time, schedule a residence tour on the Monday after the show, when Brickell is quiet and our team has time to answer every question.
