92-Foot Luxury Yacht Stuck in Delray Beach Finally Removed

Viking yacht beached

One of the greatest fears among boat owners is being the subject of a viral video. Usually that anxiety is centered around things like docking at a busy marina or trying to navigate infamous passages like the Haulover Inlet.

Sadly, for the owner of a stunningly beautiful 92-foot (28 m) Viking luxury yacht, his dilemma has been making headlines for all the wrong reasons.

Residents in Delray Beach, Florida awoke on Friday to the massive yacht beached next to residential homes.

It was stranded there the entire weekend until TowBoatrUS in Fort Lauderdale was able to free the vessel on Monday from its position.

Captain Larry Acheson, president of the company, told WPTV they had 20 people working to try and free the boat from its hangup.

"We had various vessels all with different missions," he told WPTV . "We had to pull the diesel fuel off board. Various people on the beach and various people on the disabled vessel. If it starts taking on water, we had to have people running the pumps."

Seth Stern from the ultra-popular boating YouTube channel Wavy Boats , told WPTV reporter Chris Gilmore "You'll never see a boat like this beached again in your lifetime."

"This is not a small boat. This is not a small operation," he added.

According to Stern, the Viking's engines locked up and a generator malfunctioned during high winds on the ocean off Delray Beach, resulting in the boat being unable to control its movement before being steadily pushed onshore by powerful waves. According to Delray Beach police, three people were onboard the vessel when it ran into trouble.

"The attempts that I have witnessed have been unsuccessful due to the lines snapping due to the sheer weight of the boat," Stern told WPTV .

"Today it's nice to see they're pumping off all the fuel and oil to prevent any kind of environmental spill for when they do pull this boat off. It'll also lighten the boat tremendously, making the rescue much easier," added Stern.

The boat, named Pastime , is a Viking Sport Fisherman with an estimated value of about $10 million USD. Viking Yachts are one of North America's most prized brands with a devoted following. The company was founded in 1964 by brothers Bob and Bill Healey and is widely regarded as one of the most innovative brands in boating . They're also popular among celebrities and big-time sport-fisherman thanks to their ability to blend luxury with hardcore fishing amenities. NBA legend Michael Jordan, who aside from his extensive basketball resume, is well-known for participating in sportfishing tournaments with his epic 80-foot Viking Catch-23 .

*UPDATE* 11/10/23- Viking has released a statement regarding the incident:

92-foot luxury boat beached in Delray Beach since Friday removed

A 92-foot luxury boat worth several million dollars beached in Delray Beach since Friday was removed Sunday afternoon.

TowBoatrUS Ft. Lauderdale was able to move Past Time, which had lost power and beached at Linton Avenue, out of the sand.

The yacht was moved out of the way at 3:15 p.m. and headed on a three-hour trip to Viking Service Center in Riviera Beach.

Captain Larry Acheson, president of the company, said he had 20 people working to remove it since Friday.

“We had various vessels all with different missions,” he told WFLX. “We had to pull the diesel fuel off board. Various people on the beach and various people on the disabled vessel. If it starts taking on water, we had to have people running the pumps.”

Acheson said he could not disclose information on the owner.

Seth Stern with Wavy Boat, who had been taking video of the boat Past Time the past few days, told WFLX reporter Chris Gilmore. “You’ll never see a boat like this beached again in your lifetime.”

The Viking 92's engines locked up and a generator malfunctioned in high winds, Stern said.

"This is not a small boat. This is not a small operation," Stern said.

On Sunday, crews with the Fort Lauderdale towing company were trying to get the yacht back in the water, including pumping out fuel.

Despite several failed attempts, they planned to get it back in the water at high tide.

"The attempts that I have witnessed have been unsuccessful due to the lines snapping due to the sheer weight of the boat," Stern said. "Today it's nice to see they're pumping off all the fuel and oil to prevent any kind of environmental spill for when they do pull this boat off. It'll also lighten the boat tremendously, making the rescue much easier."

Stern did some research to see the value of the boat.

"I looked one up just to see the prices and there's currently one listed for $12 million, but it doesn't have some of the same bells and whistles as this one," he said. "So the estimation of $15 to $16 million is fairly accurate on this boat. However every day it sits here getting battered by the waves that value has to go down."

Another boat has been stranded at Jacksonville Beach for two weeks.

Luke Rehberg told First Coast News he has decided to demolish "Aqualon," which he had called him.

Viking 92 Freed from Florida Beach

' src=

This isn’t supposed to happen.

But last Friday afternoon, a Viking 92 sportfishing yacht named Pastime ended up on the beach in Delray Beach, Florida. The 151-ton boat, launched in 2016, was stuck in the sand, and couldn’t get off.

Despite heroic rescue efforts, it remained there for two days, until TowBoatUS was able to pump out more than 1,000 gallons of fuel and water and, working on a high tide, float it off. Remarkably, early reports say the Viking suffered just bent props and rudders. (I’ve been to the Viking factory in New Gretna, New Jersey, many times over the years; Vikings are built like little battleships.)

The problems started when a three-person crew was taking the boat from Palm Beach down to Fort Lauderdale. The details are scanty, but somehow the boat lost power off Delray Beach in 30-knot winds and 10-foot seas. The twin 2,600-hp MTU V12 diesels stopped, and the generator malfunctioned. Reports say the fire suppression system shut down the power for some reason.

In any event, the waves pushed the boat toward the beach, and there also apparently was a problem with the anchor. The captain decided to beach the boat to keep it from drifting.

He had first called the Coast Guard and both TowBoatUS and Sea Tow vessels responded. As you can see in the video below, their efforts to secure a line to the Pastime failed several times when the lines snapped.

Pastime was finally refloated on Sunday afternoon and it reportedly was taken to the Viking Service Center up in Riviera Beach on Lake Worth.

The boat, previously named Sweet Tuna , was sold last year. The asking price was $8,750,000.

Viking Yachts issued a statement saying that the yacht “encountered a fuel interruption to the generators and then main engines, at which point the 92 C lost power. It was set adrift as the captain and crew tried to resolve the problem. The crew tried to deploy the anchor by releasing the brake, but unfortunately, the devil claw was still attached. It subsequently was lodged in the deployment chute, rendering the anchor unusable. The 92 C came to rest on the shore in Delray Beach, Florida.”  It also said that technicians at the Viking service center “determined that the incident was not the result of manufacturing or design error and that the damage was minimal.”

92-foot luxury boat beached in Delray Beach since Friday removed

DELRAY BEACH, Fla. — A 92-foot luxury boat worth several million dollars beached in Delray Beach since Friday was removed Sunday afternoon.

This 92-foot luxury yacht got stranded all weekend on a Florida beach

  • A yacht worth millions got stranded on a Florida beach.
  • The 92-foot boat spent a recent weekend on Florida's Delray Beach before it was removed.
  • "You'll never see a boat like this beached again in your lifetime," one boater told WPTV. 

Insider Today

A swanky 92-foot yacht worth millions of dollars spent a recent weekend stranded on a Florida beach.

The luxury watercraft, a Viking-92 called Past Time, got stuck on Delray Beach, on Florida's southeast coast, on Nov. 3, according to local outlet WPTV .

Three people were on board the ritzy boat when the vessel lost power before it ultimately hit the shoreline, WLFX reported , citing Delray police.

Related stories

The vessel spent most of that weekend undergoing an intensive towing operation that saw it finally removed on the afternoon of Nov. 5, WPTV reported. Engine failure and high winds contributed to the stranding, according to Wavy Boats, a Florida channel that documents local boat actions.

"You'll never see a boat like this beached again in your lifetime," Seth Stern of Wavy Boats told WPTV. Listings seen by Insider suggest the vessel can cost around $10 million new.

Stern estimated the yacht was valued in the region of $12 to $16 million, the news outlet reported.

But, he told the outlet, "every day it sits here getting battered by the waves, that value has to go down."

Longtime Florida resident Rick Iossi who witnessed the beached yacht told Insider that he's never seen a boat of this size stranded like this.

"Sometimes, the best remedy is to never have been out in heavy weather in the first place," Iossi said.

Meanwhile, Captain Larry Acheson, the president of the towing company involved in the operation to remove the yacht said that he had 20 people and various small boats that worked to move the vessel, according to WPTV.

"We had to pull the diesel fuel off board. Various people on the beach and various people on the disabled vessel. If it starts taking on water, we had to have people running the pumps," Acheson told WPTV.

He declined to identify the owner of the yacht.

Delray Beach Beached Yacht

Beached Yacht Still Beached On Delray Beach

Beached Yacht Delray Beach

BY: STAFF REPORT | BocaNewsNow.com

UPDATE: 1:55 p.m. Saturday — Delray Beach Police officials tell BocaNewsNow.com that it’s a 92-foot Viking Sport Fisherman yacht that lost power on Friday. Three occupants were on board at the time of the beaching. Sea Tow is working with the crew to try to salvage the vessel. (Thanks to reader comments, BocaNewsNow.com concurs that this doesn’t quite look like it’s 92 feet long, but we’ll stick with the official version since it’s the official version).

DELRAY BEACH, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2023 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — No crime and no controversy, but there is a rather sizable yacht beached on Delray Beach Saturday. The beaching is notable as lots of BocaNewsNow.com readers are reaching out for details. Here’s what we know:

The yacht became beached Friday afternoon as winds were exceptionally strong for the region in early November and — it would seem — the captain got him or herself into a situation before her or she could get out of it. As a result, the yacht got stuck on sand and couldn’t break free. It’s been there for nearly 24 hours.

The goal: high tide is just before 4 p.m. on Saturday. We understand that the crew is hoping high tide will be enough to break the yacht free from the sand. If not, it becomes a much bigger deal as a towing vessel may be required to move the vessel.

The Delray Beach Police Department did not immediately respond to a request for information on Saturday, but again, bad luck is not traditionally a crime. There are no injuries that we are aware of. And the weather, overall, isn’t bad for being stuck on a boat in a desirable location.

We thank our readers for sending photos. We’ll update if we receive any additional information.

The Viking Yacht Company Proposes Riviera Beach, FL, Expansion

viking yacht beached in florida

By: Colt Dodd 7:00 am on June 6, 2023

The Viking Yacht Company, a luxury yacht producer, hopes to expand its facilities in Riviera Beach, Florida. Its new sales and service center would comprise close to 45,000 square feet of new construction.

Per a recent report from the South Florida Business Journal , plans call for two low-rise buildings, along with 126 parking spots. One building would require more than 35,000 square feet of new construction; about 20,000 would be a boat showroom, while the other 15,000 would be for warehouse storage.

The venture will comprise more than 40,000 square feet of new construction.

The other building would require just under 9,300 square feet of new construction, primarily focusing on industrial purposes. Overall, the expansion will focus on Viking Yacht’s Valhalla series.

The center console yachts measure 33 to 46 feet. The proposed venture would rest on a 3.3-acre site, which is currently owned by three affiliates of the Viking Yacht Company.

The expansion would rest on a 3.3-acre build site.

Recent renderings from Google Earth show that the build sites are largely vacant. SpinaOrourke + Partners Architecture and Interior Design designed the venture. Kimley-Horn is the civil engineer.

If approved, the Viking Yacht Company’s expansion could be located at 1420 and 1500 Broadway and 1509 Avenue C in Riviera Beach, Florida, 33404, in Palm Beach County.

DeSantis details alarming find aboard Haitian migrant boat seized off Florida coast

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announced on Friday that state law enforcement had intercepted a vessel coming to the Florida coast carrying dozens of Haitian migrants, as well as firearms, drugs and night vision gear.

"Our Florida Fish and Wildlife offices interdicted a vessel that had 25 illegal immigrants, potential illegal immigrants from Haiti in their boat. In their vessel they had firearms, they had drugs, they had night vision gear and were boating very recklessly, which would potentially endanger other folks," DeSantis said, adding that the interdiction had occurred "recently" in the last few weeks.

"That vessel was interdicted near the Sebastian Inlet and those illegal aliens were turned over to the Coast Guard for deportation," he said.

DESANTIS SENDS SOLDIERS, AIRCRAFT TO ‘PROTECT’ FLORIDA FROM ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS BOATS AMID HAITI UNREST

DeSantis made the announcement at a press conference in which he also signed three pieces of legislation to deter illegal immigration into the Sunshine State.

The Republican governor had earlier this week announced an increase of personnel and aircraft to the Florida coast in light of unrest in Haiti and the potential for an increase in migration via the sea from the conflict-hit country.

READ ON THE FOX NEWS APP

The Caribbean nation has seen a significant escalation in violence as gangs have overrun the capital, burning police stations and attacking the main airport. Gangs have also raided some of the largest prisons, releasing thousands of inmates. 

DHS WARNS HAITIAN ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS ARRIVING BY BOAT FACE ‘IMMEDIATE REPATRIATION’ 

The deployment in Florida includes 48 additional National Guardsmen with four additional helicopters, 39 officers from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, 30 additional Florida Highway Patrol officers with aircraft and drones, and 23 additional officers from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission with eight additional seacraft, according to DeSantis' office.

He stressed on Friday that this had been going on for a while, and this was an increase in enforcement and not a new operation. He said that from Jan 2023 last week, officials had assisted the Coast Guard with the interdiction of 670 vessels carrying over 13,500 illegal immigrants.

"The message is the last thing you should want to do is get on a boat and think you're going to come through from any of these islands to get to the state of Florida," DeSantis said. "The most likely scenario is you'll be stopped, and you will be returned to your country of origin."

HAITIAN PRIME MINISTER ARIEL HENRY TO RESIGN AMID LOW-SCALE CIVIL WAR, BOWING TO INTERNATIONAL PRESSURE 

"It's a hazardous journey, it’s not worth doing, and we have the resources to continue to keep the people of Florida safe."

On Tuesday, Rebecca Zimmerman, Assistant Secretary of Defense for Homeland Defense and Hemispheric Affairs, told lawmakers that the Pentagon is "alert" to the possibility of a mass migration event, but it has also not yet seen large numbers.

"I think you’re right that the driving conditions in Haiti could very well press more people," she told Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla. "We recently approved some additional assistance we could provide to the Coast Guard."

The Department of Homeland Security has also said it is monitoring the situation, but has stressed that migration flows in the Caribbean remain "low." It also warned that those crossing face being turned back to their country of origin.

"U.S. policy is to return noncitizens who do not have a fear of persecution or torture or a legal basis to enter the United States. Those interdicted at sea are subject to immediate repatriation pursuant to our longstanding policy and procedures. The United States returns or repatriates migrants interdicted at sea to The Bahamas, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, and Haiti," a spokesperson said.

On Friday, DeSantis also signed three pieces of legislation related to immigration. One increased the maximum sentence for people driving without a license. Another enhances penalties for crimes committed by illegal immigrants who return to the country after deportation, while the third bill states that no jurisdiction can recognize IDs that are distributed by other states to illegal immigrants.

Haitian migrant boat with guns, drugs intercepted in Florida: What we know

viking yacht beached in florida

Over two dozen people this past month were discovered by Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission officers being smuggled into Florida, according to FWC reports. Included in the group were unaccompanied children and armed smugglers attempting to make their way into Sebastian Inlet on Feb. 29, FWC said in a statement released Friday. Law enforcement officials are continuing to investigate the case in which guns and drugs were also seized from a 42-foot vessel in in Brevard County near the Indian River County line. Gov. Ron DeSantis used it as a prime example for tougher laws.

What did FWC officers discover on migrant boat?

FWC reports said the boat's operator was armed. There were 25 people, including five unaccompanied children, on board the boat entering the country. Officers also found firearms, night vision gear and drugs, the report said. The exact details of the interdiction were not released.

Who is investigating the smuggling operation?

The Brevard County Sheriff’s Office and U.S. Customs and Border Protection are carrying out an investigation into the boat. It was not reported if charges had been filed in the case as of Monday morning.

What did Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis say about armed migrant boat?

DeSantis pointed to the incident as an example for the need to deter illegal immigration in a press conference this past weekend. Two separate laws signed by the governor would crack down on penalties for undocumented immigrants driving without a license and those who are re-entering the country after previously being deported.

“In their boat, in their vessel, they had firearms, they had drugs, they had night vision gear and were boating very recklessly, which would potentially endanger other folks,” DeSantis  told reporters on Friday.

DeSantis said int he press conference that the migrants were deported by the U.S. Coast Guard.

This incident comes two months after DeSantis announced that he is sending approximately 1,000 Florida National Guard troops to Texas to assist in security along the Mexican border.

Last week, DeSantis also announced that he was shoring up immigration security in the Florida Keys, where he deployed "250 additional officers and soldiers and over a dozen air and sea craft to the southern coast of Florida to protect our state."

‘you guys have to do something about it’: jacksonville beach residents sound off after gun violence disrupts holiday, 3 unrelated shootings on st. patrick’s day prompt lockdown of busy downtown bar district.

Brianna Andrews , Reporter, weekend anchor

Ariel Schiller , Reporter , Jacksonville

JACKSONVILLE BEACH, Fla. – Tuesday afternoon, Jacksonville Beach Police Department released the name of the man killed in one of three shootings Sunday night.

Officials said at 8:31 p.m. on Sunday, 21-year-old James Jones III was fatally shot by an unknown suspect near Beach Boulevard and 1st Street.

The Jacksonville Beach City Council heard from more than a dozen residents Monday night who all expressed concerns about public safety after three separate shootings Sunday night prompted a lockdown of the downtown bar district.

The three shootings reported within 40 minutes disrupted a busy St. Patrick’s Day holiday that coincided with Spring Break and the end of The Players Championship in nearby Ponte Vedra Beach.

MORE: Complete coverage of Jacksonville Beach St. Patrick’s Day shootings

A 21-year-old man was killed in one of the shootings, and three people were hurt in another, including two of the shooters, police said.

The first shooting happened at 7:50 pm south of the Jacksonville Beach Pier, the second one was about 20 minutes later, a half block north on 3rd Avenue, and the third shooting was at 8:31 p.m. in the parking lot of a restaurant at the corner of 1st Street North and Beach Boulevard.

“In 26 years, the last five have been crazy in Jacksonville Beach. You guys have to do something about it. Back-to-back weekends, it’s the same issue back-to-back,” Jacksonville Beach resident Rico Nieves told the City Council.

Jacksonville Beach police said the incidents started Sunday with a planned gathering of 250-400 people in their late teens and early 20s under the pier. Jacksonville Beach Police Chief Gene Paul Smith said officers broke up the crowd because they started fighting. The first shooting happened as the crowd separated when two young men wounded each other and also hit an out-of-town bystander.

“Anybody that crosses that ditch (Intracoastal Waterway) needs to have respect for not only our businesses but our beach, our pier and our law enforcement,” Jacksonville Beach resident Jennifer Cruz said. “I want people when they come to Jacksonville Beach and they think they want to act crazy, and fight and whatever BS that they do--– they need to be respectful, and I think fearful is a healthy emotion.”

Police have not made any arrests and are looking for more than one suspected shooter , in addition to the two shooters who were wounded.

“This is not the kind of attention we want for Jax Beach, I think we can all agree on that,” Mayor Christine Hoffman said.

The City Council adjusted its agenda Monday night to talk about what happened and Hoffman shared during her opening remarks that she heard from the White House, fellow mayors and even national news outlets about the shooting. Hoffman told News4JAX earlier that the quick response of both the first responders and local businesses should reassure any visitors about the safety of Jacksonville Beach.

“I witnessed firsthand the heroism and bravery that these officers showed right as this went on. They rendered aid to the victims -- all while trying to tame the crowd around them as they were antagonizing them,” Jacksonville Beach City Councilman Fernando Meza said. “It takes bravery and it takes guts. So anyone who wants to talk negative about them, come deal with me.”

Meza said emotions have been running hot throughout the community since Sunday night.

“I’ve been feeling so many types of emotions since last night: anger, disappointment, sad, disgust, heartbroken,” Meza said. “What happened last night should have never happened, but it did. Right now at this moment, with our current youth, the future does not look promising. "

During the discussion of the shooting, many council members and the city attorney talked about potential solutions to violence in the community and the legalities surrounding ordinances and moratoriums on special event permits. They also discussed finding a way to give the police department more resources in the short term.

Council members also mentioned reaching out to Councilman Rory Diamond, who represents the beaches for the city of Jacksonville, to see what help he can provide. They also mentioned reaching out to state representatives.

Miami Beach real estate investor under investigation for firing shotgun from waterfront home

MIAMI (WSVN) - An investigation is underway after a man was seen on video firing his shotgun off a boat at his Miami Beach home.

It was a real blast on Thursday at the high-end Lakeview section on Miami Beach.

Video obtained exclusively by 7News showed the man, identified as Patrick Carroll, firing his shotgun causally on the boat while wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat.

Carroll is real estate investor who lives in a $16.5 million waterfront mansion.

The 44-year-old, according to law enforcement sources, was firing those shots from a boat that was docked at his home.

In a second video, a second long-gun was also seen. The footage was initially posted on Carroll’s Instagram account, which is now being used in an investigation by the Miami Beach Police Department, who learned about the Bayside shooting session by concerned neighbors.

Police told 7News that officers arrived at Carroll’s home Thursday before being told by him that he was only firing blanks. They also said that a second call was made about Carroll over the weekend, but police have not provided those details.

7News went to Carroll’s home Monday afternoon to get his side of the story, but those at his home didn’t say if he was home or if he would comment on the incident.

When crews returned to his home Monday night, two dogs, a doberman and a Belgian Malinois, were released and roamed the neighborhood without any leashes.

Police were called to the scene.

Carroll eventually came out of his home and said that he was firing blanks from the shotgun and that he was making a gun safety demonstration video.

“I was doing a demonstration. I was doing a demonstration on gun safety,” Carroll said. “Using blanks.”

When confronted about the constant police presence at his home, Carroll claimed he has not done anything wrong and left the scene.

On his Instagram account over the weekend, Carroll seemed to address the gun-play.

“I will slow down the posts,” he said. “Most of the negative things out there about me, and, I think, you know, people, you know think badly about me. They just get the wrong impression.”

Carroll has a significant online presence with over a million Instagram followers.

“I’m a loud guy, I’m 6’4, 220 [pounds]. I’m a big guy, right?” Carroll said in an Instagram post. “The mistake I made on Instagram, you know, if you call it a mistake, is just posting too much content. I’m hyper, I’m ADD. It’s just because, my life is [expletive] awesome.”

Carroll has been in trouble with the law in the past. He is being sued for allegedly spitting at a Wynwood restaurant manager’s face.

He also has open criminal cases for battery, which includes a 2022 arrest at Gold Rush gentleman’s club in Miami. 7News obtained surveillance video from the club during that incident. According to police and victims, Carroll was screaming profanities and racial slurs.

Neighbors at the Lakeview community said that they’ve been calling police for several days.

Police told 7News that their investigating remains active.

No arrests have been made and no charges have been filed.

Time for a bigger boat? Check out what the Palm Beach International Boat Show has to offer

viking yacht beached in florida

Whether you're the son of a son of a sailor or even just love that song and want to know more, the granddaddy of all boating events is happening this weekend along the West Palm Beach waterfront.

That's right, the Palm Beach International Boat Show is back for four glorious days along Flagler Drive.

This will be the 42nd annual event, and organizers promise it will be bigger and better than ever.

There will be $1.2 billion worth of Bond-worthy super yachts, cruisers, sportfishing boats, center consoles and even inflatables to see and tour, along with attractions and activities highlighting the latest in boat engines, motors and accessories. There will also be the latest fishing gear and even fishing seminars.

Yes, it's a big event, but don't be intimidated. In fact, here are seven fun facts about the show:

How many boats can this boat show boast?

There will be more than 800 boats on display along the floating docks in the Intracoastal Waterway.

What is the biggest boat at the boat show?

With a length of 236 feet (and 38 feet wide), Casino Royale takes the title for largest boat this year. This gorgeous yacht, designed for her exterior lines by Francesco Paszkowski with interior by Paszkowski’s interior lead designer Margherita Casprini, is also one of the most technically advanced yachts in her category. Casino Royale is powered by twin Caterpillar 3516B main engines and has an impressive top speed of 17.5 knots. You can put your checkbooks away for this one, however, as she is only on display and not for sale.

This boat is the boat show's most epensive

Built in 2022 and 196-feet long, Come Together is listed for $59,950,000. This expedition yacht was delivered by the Dutch shipyard Amels and features interior styling by British designer Winch Design. It can comfortably accommodate up to 12 guests in six cabins along with 14 crew members.

Are spectators allowed to go on the boats?

To go onboard the yachts and superyachts, visitors must make an appointment with the brokers. For the smaller boats, however, spectators can come onboard if they are interested in buying.

What is the smallest boat?

The smallest boat being displayed on the water is a runabout boat that is 22-feet-6-inches long, and 5-feet-11 wide. It is manufactured by Hermes.

Eating inside the boat show

The show will have dozens of food concessions featuring almost anything you could be craving, from Greek gyros to woodfired picanha, authentic street tacos and hand-crafted burgers. On a seafood diet? Enjoy fresh stone crab claws, calamari, oysters, and much more! Vegetarian, vegan, and/or gluten-free? No problem; they have options for you as well.

And libations at the boat show?

Of course there will be drinks. To be precise, there will be four bars for general admission guests, including two floating cocktail barges: the Goslings Island Bar and the Anheuser-Busch Barge. In addition there will be multiple bars in the Windward VIP Club.

What: Palm Beach International Boat Show

Where: Downtown West Palm Beach along Flagler Drive from Banyan Boulevard south to Lakeview Avenue

When: noon to 7 p.m. Thursday, March 21; 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Friday, March 22 and Saturday, March 23; 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday, March 24

Cost: Adult one-day tickets $33, adult two-day tickets $60; child (ages 6 to 15) one-day tickets $17.
