As bad as boat shows have been for performance boats lately I think I will wait for Jayboat or Pete B's pictures instead of attending this year.....and I live about 100 miles from the show and know the area very well. Half the fun of the Miami show was South Beach afterward and you could literally walk there!

However, I see no mention of that on the website anymore. http://www.miamiboatshow.com/
In actuality, I see that as a HUGE security threat if they did allow such.
It's going to be a giant cluster getting to/from the show. The South Beach water taxi location is completely obscure, and I'm sure will be terrible on logistics. I'm thinking it is sound to bring your own inflatable PFD if you plan to use the water taxis.
I'm starting to wish I'd have left my Harley in South Florida when we just went down for New Years.
Years ago, I used to rent a Harley to get around for the show. I may try and do the same this year. Or at least a scooter.

I would park at AAA or Bayside. Go early, leave early. Or, it will cost a bit more to park but only about 1 mile north is the Marriott marina.
