Although this year’s Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show looked and felt significantly different, due to the pandemic, nothing could stop the parade of new fiberglass aimed at a flourishing boating market.
Our staff members who attended noticed reduced crowds, at least during the week, and masks were mandatory. With fewer exhibitors, show managers dropped the Broward County Convention Center as a venue. Many of the fish-boat builders were moved to the main show location at Bahia Mar Yachting Center.
Despite the obstacles, many builders debuted brand-new boats. Others brought still-new-for-2020 models. Here are 13 great center- and dual-consoles and fisharounds we saw at the docks and under the tents. (Boats are listed alphabetically by builder.)
