The Discover Boating Miami International Boat Show runs February 10 to 14, 2027. The Miami Beach Convention Center is its main hall, with in-water displays at marinas around Biscayne Bay. It is one of the largest boat shows in the world. Graphink prints, delivers and installs graphics for exhibitors, and we wrap the boats too.
What the Boat Show Is About
The convention center holds powerboats, engines, electronics and marine accessories. The in-water sites hold yachts and sailboats. Recent editions drew roughly 1,000 exhibitors and about 100,000 visitors. For 2027 the organizers have announced a dedicated display of boats priced under $150,000, along with new transport routes between sites.
The organizer publishes the final list of sites and hours closer to the show. Check it before planning deliveries, because each site has its own access rules.
What Marine Exhibitors Need
A boat show booth has to work outdoors as well as in. Graphics on the docks face sun, salt and wind for five days. Material choice matters more here than at any other show on the calendar.
- Boat wraps, hull graphics and transom lettering for display boats
- Outdoor banners, mesh banners and flags rated for wind
- Printed tents for dock and outdoor displays
- Spec sheets, price boards and brochures for each model
- Backdrops and banner stands for the convention center booths
What Graphink Does at the Boat Show
- Rush and same-day printing for spec boards, banners and handouts
- Delivery to the convention center, the docks or your hotel
- Install and dismantle of booth graphics by our own crew
- Booth design and build through our trade show booth team
Boat wraps are different from booth graphics. They need lead time and are best done before the boat is moved to the show. Call early if a display boat needs graphics.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you wrap a boat in time for the show?
If you call early, yes. A wrap depends on the size of the hull and where the boat is kept. Lettering and partial graphics are faster. We will give you a realistic date before you commit.
Will outdoor graphics survive five days on the dock?
Yes, when the right material is used. We print on marine-grade and outdoor-rated vinyl and use mesh for banners that face wind.
Can you change a price board during the show?
Yes. Send the new figures and we reprint and deliver, usually by the next morning.
Graphink is an independent print and sign shop. We are not affiliated with the Discover Boating Miami International Boat Show or its organizers. Dates and hours come from the published show calendar and can change, so confirm them with the organizer.
