The 2025 edition brought together more than 1,300 boats across its 7 exhibition sites. All in all, spread over nearly 90 acres (36 hectares) and with 6 miles (9.65 km) of pontoons, this in-water boat show is considered the biggest in the world. FLIBS is also quite the cash machine, bringing in nearly $1.79 billion for the local economy.

As for power multihulls, there were a few world premieres that we couldn’t miss, including the Aquila 36 Molokai, the Heritage 36, the Oceanwalker S60 and the Horizon PC68.
