What’s New FLIBS??? The 2026 Premieres I’m Checking Out for You
World premieres approaching 132 feet are coming to Fort Lauderdale. Here is what I plan to see first and why it's better to explore the show together.
By Jorge Camaraza, CPYB, Founder and President of Beyond Yacht Group
The 67th Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show runs Wednesday, October 28, through Sunday, November 1, 2026, across six locations in Fort Lauderdale.
To understand its scale, the 2025 show attracted more than 100,000 visitors and 1,000 exhibitors, with over 1,300 boats on display.
That is a lot of boats, my friends.
So, I did some homework for both of us.
Here are the new models and premieres I believe deserve your time.
The Boats I Want to See
Tiara 35 LS
The new Tiara 35 LS is a family-focused luxury sport boat built around comfort, safety and easy days on the water.
Its convertible aft cockpit can create two separate seating areas or one large lounge. Below, the forward seating converts into a queen berth, allowing a day trip to become an easy overnight.
Ocean Alexander 30P and 40P
Ocean Alexander will complete its Puro Series with the world premieres of the 30P and 40P.
At roughly 132 feet, the 40P becomes the series flagship, while the 30P provides a new entry point at approximately 104 feet. Both will appear alongside the existing 35P, giving visitors the unusual opportunity to experience all three sizes together.
Galeon 570 SKY
The Galeon 570 SKY combines the profile of a coupe with the functionality of a flybridge.
Its upper helm can be concealed beneath a retractable roof, while Galeon’s optional Beach Mode lowers the side balconies and expands the usable beam to more than 22 feet. This is a design worth seeing in both its open and closed configurations.
Valhalla 46 Sport Yacht
The Valhalla 46 Sport Yacht brings the cruising concept of the larger 55 Sport Yacht into a more manageable, owner-operated platform.
Buyers can compare open and enclosed pilothouse versions, both powered by triple or quad Mercury V12 600 outboards. Inside, the layout includes a forward master stateroom, galley, separate head and shower, and aft twin berths.
Sunseeker Manhattan 56
The Manhattan 56 makes its United States debut at FLIBS.
The galley sits on the main deck, leaving room below for three cabins, including a full-beam owner’s suite. It is a strong example of how thoughtful layout, not simply overall length, determines how comfortably a yacht lives.
Wajer 55 HT - Updated Design
The latest Wajer 55 HT design combines its signature hardtop profile with a lightweight composite and carbon-reinforced roof frame. Its power-operated sliding canvas roof opens the cockpit to the sun or provides protection from heat and passing weather.
At the helm, the updated design introduces a cleaner, minimalist dashboard, custom-made captain’s chairs and a curved wraparound windshield. Automatic fenders, integrated cleats, a concealed anchor and an extendable swim platform preserve the yacht’s clean exterior while making docking and water access easier.
Below deck, the layout includes a double master cabin, a second cabin, galley and private bathroom, allowing the 55 HT to move comfortably between day boating and weekend cruising.
A Wajer 55 HT You Can Actually Own
Beyond Yacht Group & Wajer will present a 2026 Wajer 55 HT with approximately 25 hours as a central brokerage listing within the Wajer display.
This fully optioned yacht features triple Volvo Penta IPS650 engines, two cabins and a tender garage with a Williams tender. Its sliding roof provides open-air enjoyment or protection from the South Florida sun, while automatic fenders, integrated cleats and the retractable anchor system simplify ownership.
For anyone who has admired the Wajer brand but does not want to wait for a future build slot, this yacht deserves a close look.
For full specifications and images of this 2026 Wajer 55 HT available now , please contact Jorge Camaraza at 786-547-2847 or jorge@beyondyachtgroup.com.
Why Walk the Show Together?
You see a boat one way. I see it another.
You bring the real-world perspective: how your family spends a Saturday, where you like to anchor, who operates the boat and what you want from the next one.
I bring the professional perspective: construction, systems, engine-room access, service considerations, resale positioning and the questions worth asking the builder.
Beyond Yacht Group is brand agnostic and customer-focused. Our job is not to sell you one manufacturer. It is to help you identify the boat that best fits your lifestyle and then negotiate the strongest possible ownership opportunity.
We can also help with operating budgets, insurance, dockage, captains, crew, trusted vendors and destination planning.
Before You Go
Show hours are noon to 7 p.m. Wednesday, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Thursday through Saturday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday. Tickets must be purchased online because there is no onsite box office.
Boarding policies are controlled by each exhibitor, and many larger yachts require appointments. Beyond Yacht Group can coordinate requested access in advance.
The best part of seeing new boats is discovering them together.
See you on the docks.
