With the 2026 Palm Beach International Boat Show just behind us, IYG reflects on what is quickly becoming one of the premiere shows on Earth.
The dust has barely settled on the 2026 Palm Beach International Boat Show, and the excitement the event conjured up across the yachting industry is still fresh. This is a show that is growing quickly both in the number and size of yachts on display. It offers a welcome reprieve from the enormity of the Lauderdale show, and is much easier logistically for the American contingent than Cannes and Monaco. Add in world-class restaurants and hotels, and an overall relaxed vibe that has been compared to spring-training games, and it’s easy to see why PBIBS is so beloved. And this year the lineup of boats was duly impressive with a selection of large, Italian-built motoryachts that offers a little something for everyone.
Custom Line Navetta 42 — Future
One of the Italian Yacht Group’s featured yachts at the show, Future is a tour de force when it comes to volume, layout, and overall livability. She is notable for having guest accommodations with little deviation from each other, so there will be no competition for getting the best stateroom. A large beach club offers access to the water while a slick, all-black Williams 625 tender shuttles guests back and forth between land and yacht before stowing in the garage.
The living spaces on this boat are the real standouts for me,” says IYG sales broker Patrick Hopkins. “There is just so much volume for this size boat that it’s hard to imagine—but seeing is believing. I was onboard in Antigua recently and she handled the water beautifully and was epic as an entertainment platform. If you’re looking for a tri-deck in this size and class I think you’d be hard pressed to find anything better on the market.”

67-Meter CRN — Amor Á Vida
One of the more talked about yachts at the show, CRN’s Amor Á Vida set tongues to wagging with her impeccable mix of style and usability. Nuvolari Lenard did both exteriors and interiors, lending the yacht a style that is ultra-suave and just the right bit of brash. This yacht also has a focus on sustainability, including a state-of-the-art hybrid propulsion system, and a heat-recovery system that optimizes hot-water resources in order to reduce the waste of energy.
Amor Á Vida was built to entertain with a large pool and a modern beach club leading the way in that area. If you are looking for a yacht that makes a statement anywhere she roams, this is one you should definitely be looking into.
Cantiere delle Marche Flexplorer 44M — Maverick
Everybody loves Maverick. This is one of those yachts that is so singular that she has become the yachting equivalent of a household name. CDM stands out in the world of Italian boatbuilding both for its focus on explorer-type yachts and a level of spec that is as good as any in Italy. This particular yacht grabs eyeballs with her massive aft crane and a flat aft section that serves double duty as a nest for tenders and toys and as a party platform. But perhaps what is most interesting about this yacht is that she is in the middle of a planned 7-year circumnavigation that shows CDM isn’t afraid to put its money where its mouth is.
Mangusta GranSport 50M Project
Overmarine traveled from Italy to unveil details of its brand-new Mangusta GranSport 50M project, which comes hot on the heels of the announcement of a GranSport 38M in Miami last February. The yacht has been envisioned as an SUV of the sea, and has sleek lines and lush interiors both penned by Alberto Mancini. This model will feature an open-plan layout and a liberal use of glass to convey the breezy onboard vibes Mangusta covets. She sleeps twelve in five staterooms, headlined by a full-beam master stateroom that can be outfitted with its own private terrace.
Sanlorenzo 62M — Alchemist
One of three 62Steel yachts ever built by Sanlorenzo, Alchemist was arguably one of the busier yachts at the show with constant foot traffic. Her interiors were done by friend of IYG Marty Lowe, and perfectly expressed the beachy, laid-back, and elegant vibes for which Marty is so well known. The yacht features a beach club that is world-class, and can sleep 12 in six nicely appointed staterooms. She also can carry up to 18 crew, meaning the owners will be cruising in the utmost of luxury.
Baglietto 38M — Enterprise
With a gray paint job that exudes masculinity and sturdy yet intricate lines penned by Francesco Paszkowski, the 38-meter Baglietto Enterprise makes her presence known whenever she cruises into port. The 2022 build features a fold-out beach club, a glass-sided spa on her sun deck, and a 3,000-nautical-mile range. Her draft is also a relatively shallow 6-feet, 7-inches, which makes her ideal as a Bahamas yacht, especially considering that her capable hull should provide a smooth crossing across the Gulf Stream.
