Getting around · FLIBS 2026
Shuttles, golf carts & Water Taxi.
October 28–November 1, 2026. All times Eastern (Fort Lauderdale). Last checked October 23, 2026. Check official service updates before travelling.
Start at the Convention Center
The transportation hub is the Broward County Convention Center, 1950 Eisenhower Boulevard.
Show shuttles
Shuttles are included with a show-ticket purchase. Use the official transportation map for route planning and confirm your destination with the shuttle team before boarding. FLIBS’ map and online route descriptions currently differ.
Service windows: Wednesday 11 AM–8 PM; Thursday–Saturday 9 AM–8 PM; Sunday 9 AM–6 PM.
These windows are derived from the official rule: service starts one hour before show opening and ends one hour after closing. They are not a departure timetable.
Golf carts between venues
The Superyacht Village–Bahia Mar golf cart service runs during show hours: Wednesday noon–7 PM; Thursday–Saturday 10 AM–7 PM; Sunday 10 AM–5 PM.
Water Taxi: public service hours
The operator’s dated 2026 schedule lists Wednesday noon–8 PM; Thursday–Saturday 10 AM–8 PM; Sunday 10 AM–6 PM. The earlier hour is for vendors only. Regular sightseeing routes are suspended during the show.
Published fares: $15 per day or $65 for five days. Children under five, Windward VIP ticket holders and annual pass holders ride free. Accredited media also have complimentary access to the show’s Water Taxis, according to the official FLIBS press FAQ. The FAQ does not state a separate boarding-proof requirement or grant earlier boarding; the vendor-only early-hour distinction above still applies.
2026 Water Taxi stops, tickets and current details · 954-467-6677
Arriving by Brightline
Check the official Brightline connection information and confirm your destination before boarding a shuttle. A Water Taxi connection requires a separate ticket unless you qualify for the operator’s published free travel categories.
Accessibility & travel questions
Confirm your specific stop and vehicle before travelling; do not assume every connection offers step-free access.

On the docks
How we shoot the show.
What we’re after
- Booth and on-board interviews: who they are, what they brought, why it matters
- Boat debuts and press events from the official calendar
- B-roll: docks at golden hour, crowds, hero yachts, Superyacht Village
- FLIBS-week parties and crew events (see our party guide)
- Shoot verticals (9:16) for Reels/TikTok whenever you can, plus horizontal for YouTube
A few dock notes
- Ask before stepping aboard, and shoes come off on deck unless the crew says otherwise.
- Get an on-camera OK from everyone you interview, plus their name, title and handle.
- Keep gangways and walkways clear, and give brokers room mid-showing.
- Your media pass covers general admission areas, not VIP or private events, and it’s non-transferable.
- Charge everything nightly, carry spare cards, and back up before bed.
