The 2017 Miami International Boat Show was jam-packed with a plethora of new boats. From center consoles to runabouts, watersports and cruisers, there was a craft to fit every style of boating.

While debuts of new boats are always the crowd favorites we also checked out boats that were new just a few months ago in Fort Lauderdale and some classic models that have been refreshed. Honestly, you would need weeks to thoroughly cover all of the boats on display. We only had a few days.

This is by no means a complete list of every boat featured at the 2017 Miami International Boat Show. It is just some of what caught our eye while walking the docks.
