2018 Miami Boat Show Boats On Display

null

More than 1300 boats filled the docks and buildings and grounds at the 2018 Progressive International Miami Boat Show, known simply as the Miami Boat Show, or,” MIBS.” Outboard or sterndrive; inboard or jet; and whether gas, diesel or electric, the opportunity to see such a wide variety of boats in a setting where many can actually be taken out for demo rides is unique indeed. Here is a sample of just some of the boats that caught our eye at this year’s Miami Boat Show.
