See You at FLIBS: Northrop & Johnson’s 2026 Yacht Lineup

The fall boat show season is heading to Fort Lauderdale, and Northrop & Johnson is going big on home turf. The Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS) returns from October 28 to November 1, 2026. The show spans six locations across Fort Lauderdale and welcomes more than 100,000 visitors.

For Northrop & Johnson, the week is about much more than what’s happening on the docks. N&J will be one of the show’s largest in-water exhibitors, with seven yachts for sale on display (and counting), including two that are also available for charter. VIVACE will also be available for charter around the show.

Add N&J’s Hall of Fame Face Dock lounge, private luxury estate, dedicated transportation, hospitality, Strategic Partners and team members arriving from across the company’s global offices, and there are plenty of reasons to make N&J your home base for FLIBS week.

Experience FLIBS 2026 with Northrop & Johnson

Boat shows are busy, and N&J does FLIBS a little differently. Northrop & Johnson will have two dedicated locations during FLIBS 2026: an in-show lounge at the Hall of Fame Face Dock and a private luxury estate off-site.

The N&J Show Lounge will be located at HOF FD 48–50, north of the swing bridge on the west side of the Hall of Fame Face Dock. A registration desk at the front of the lounge will provide access for N&J clients and guests. This is the place to regroup between viewings, meet with brokers and specialists or simply get away from the pace of the docks.

The private estate gives N&J clients and guests another dedicated space away from the show, with valet parking plus car and tender services between locations. Pre-registration provides easy access to the N&J lounge, yachts and estate, with complimentary gourmet snacks and refreshments available at both N&J locations.

And there will be plenty of familiar faces around. Team members from N&J’s global offices will converge on Fort Lauderdale, including sales brokers, new construction experts, charter managers, retail charter brokers, Crew Services associates and more.
