Now in its 11th year of energizing and entertaining attendees at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS), Nautical Ventures’ AquaZone is taking its excitement to new depths—literally. The award-winning interactive water sports experience will debut a new floating exhibit at Pier A, adjacent to the all-new Las Olas Marina, showcasing the latest in water toys, tenders, and electric boats in a truly immersive environment, without the confines of its demonstration pool.
Nautical Ventures has teamed up with AquaBanas, creators of modular floating platforms, to build a dynamic, activity-filled dock for FLIBS guests. This floating platform was purposely built to accommodate the variety of water toys being showcased, as well as yachts from Fairline and Solaris Power.
Guests will enjoy interactive demonstrations of electric surfboards, personal watercraft, kayaks, and water bikes, appealing to yacht owners, adventure seekers, and eco-minded enthusiasts alike. Two-time World Champion Kristen Smoyer will perform aerial aquabatics on her Flyboard, while the FLITE e-Foil team races across the Intracoastal Waterway along with Seabobs dive sleds. Media attendees are also invited to tour the Fairline Squadron 68, Phantom 65 and the Solaris 52 yachts on display within the AquaZone perimeter.
Axopar electric boats, and Vision Marine Electric pontoons will provide free shuttle services for guests from Bahia Mar or the Broward County Convention Center. All powered by Vision Marine’s groundbreaking E-Motion electric powertrain.
