We need your help to produce the Miami International Boat Show you want! Please take a quick moment from your day to voice your support to members of the Miami-Dade County Commission and Congress who hold the future of the show in their hands by CLICKING HERE.
We can assure you the boat show will happen in February and we are continuing to move ahead with plans but we need you to share your voice so we can be louder about the need to prevent any politics from blurring what is most important—producing the greatest boat show in the world and supporting the South Florida community!
Misguided opposition to the boat show from the Village of Key Biscayne has reached a boiling point—opposition that is based on mistruths. We have decided enough is enough and want to express just how many people depend on the Miami International Boat Show and how important it is that we move past politics and focus on the facts.
The facts are that the boat show has an exemplary environmental track record, one of the most comprehensive event traffic plans the City has ever seen, and is not costing the State of Florida or Miami-Dade a dime. Instead, it creates nearly $600 million in annual economic activity, supports more than 6,500 jobs and generates more than $30 million in tax revenue, while continuing a beloved 74-year tradition.
We look forward to seeing everyone at the show in February and thank you for your continued support! CLICK HERE to voice your support now!
