Newcomers to the 2026 Palm Beach Boat Show

The countdown to Palm Beach is officially on.

Each year, more than 55,000 attendees gather along the waterfront in West Palm Beach, making it one of the most influential early-season marine events in the country. There are boats in all shapes, styles, colors and more at the show, and we’re covering some of the world debuts and exciting showstoppers that you may not know about here that are perfect for cruising throughout the Southeast.

Alia Yachts is proud to announce the world debut of its striking 43 metre full-custom raised pilothouse yacht Ximena at the upcoming Palm Beach International Boat Show.

Penned by Omega Architects with naval architecture by Van Oossanen Naval Architects, Ximena commands immediate attention with her aggressive, arrow-like profile and distinctive pelican’s bill bow. Her fast displacement hull form delivers a top speed of 22.6 knots, combining performance with remarkable efficiency at a 20-knot cruising speed. 

​​This fully custom 43-meter yacht achieves an exceptional balance between performance and onboard comfort. A light-filled owner’s suite forward on the main deck enjoys panoramic views, complemented by four spacious guest cabins on the lower deck. Well appointed crew quarters ensure seamless service throughout extended voyages. Expansive exterior spaces, including a foredeck lounge, generous cockpit, and versatile upper deck, create a refined al fresco lifestyle. A dedicated glass-fronted gym positioned at the aft beach club further enhances the onboard experience, offering guests a private wellness space with direct connection to the sea.

The yacht’s contemporary interior, crafted by international studio Yodezeen, will also be unveiled to the public for the first time during the show, marking a significant moment in the yacht’s global presentation.

“Presenting Ximena at Palm Beach is a proud moment for our entire team,” says Gökhan Çelik, President of Alia Yachts. “She embodies our approach to true full-custom building, performance-driven, architecturally distinctive, and meticulously tailored to her owner’s vision. We look forward to welcoming guests on board for her global premiere.”

Designed for serious offshore cruising as well as refined coastal ventures, the ILIAD 53F delivers exceptional range of 2,500 nm combined with class-leading efficiency, space and comfort.

The interior of the ILIAD 53F is designed to maximise light, space and connection to the sea, featuring panoramic windows, generous living areas, remarkable storage and flexible accommodation layouts. An optional pantograph door provides direct access from the salon to the foredeck. Expansive outdoor spaces, including a large cockpit, foredeck lounge and flybridge, create ideal zones for entertaining, relaxing and enjoying life on the water, whether cruising coastal waters or exploring remote destinations.

In addition to the ILIAD 53F on display, visitors to the Palm Beach International Boat Show will be able to learn more about ILIAD Catamarans’ newest models, including the ILIAD 53F OffGrid Hybrid and the ILIAD 60. The ILIAD 53F OffGrid Hybrid builds on the proven ILIAD 53F platform, incorporating advanced hybrid propulsion, extended solar capacity and high-capacity battery systems to support low-emission, generator-free cruising for extended periods. The new ILIAD 60 represents the next evolution in long-range luxury power catamarans, offering increased volume, enhanced performance and even greater range for owners seeking true global capability.

New Miami-based yacht brand Manari Yachts has launched its first model and it is already redefining expectations in its class. The Manari 52, set for its world debut at the Palm Beach International Boat Show, enters the market as one of the fastest Volvo IPS-powered 52-foot yachts in the world, establishing a new performance benchmark in the segment.

Manari’s philosophy is simple: time on the water should be unforgettable. The yacht seamlessly blends elegant interiors with carefree outdoor living. At the helm, the driving experience is treated with the same ambition. Performance sets the Manari 52 apart as a genuine category leader. Advanced Volvo IPS propulsion delivers razor-sharp handling and exhilarating speeds of up to 47 knots, placing the yacht at the forefront of its class worldwide. This is not simply a fast yacht — it is a new reference point for what a 52-footer can be.

The first Manari 52 has now splashed at the build yard in Turkey, marking a key milestone for the experienced team driving this ambitious project. The yacht is currently undergoing final finishing and checks ahead of shipment to the United States.

Maritimo will unveil the all-new Maritimo M50 to the North American market at the Palm Beach International Boat Show, where the model will make its official regional debut on March 25, 2026, and remain on display throughout the show.

“The M50 is an incredibly important model for Maritimo,” says Keith Teynor, Managing Director of the Americas for Maritimo. “Fifty feet is a true sweet spot for owner-operators, and the M50 has been designed to resonate with buyers across the entire U.S.—from the Pacific Northwest and the Great Lakes to the East Coast and beyond. It delivers the offshore capability, comfort, and versatility needed for a wide range of cruising styles and conditions.”

“Debuting the M50 at the Palm Beach International Boat Show is especially exciting for us,” Teynor continues. “Palm Beach has long been a cornerstone event for Maritimo in North America, and it’s the perfect stage to introduce a yacht that represents our continued focus on new model development, innovation, and refinement. Just as important is the exceptional owner experience we’re able to deliver through our factory-direct sales model where customers work directly with the people who design, build, and stand behind their yachts. That relationship is a defining part of the Maritimo ownership journey.”

Sirena Yachts will present the new Sirena 60 for her official U.S. debut at the Palm Beach International Boat Show 2026, marking the model’s long anticipated arrival on the American market.

After attracting significant attention at her world premiere at the Cannes Yachting Festival and continuing her success at boot in Düsseldorf 2026, the Sirena 60 will now make her first public appearance in the United States, bringing her refined design, expanded living spaces, and long-range cruising capability to American owners.

The new Sirena 60 offers more usable space, improved functionality, and a contemporary evolution of the brand’s distinctive design language. She features larger windows, substantially larger exterior spaces both forward and aft, and an increase in interior volume. The result is a yacht that provides more space for lounging, enhanced storage capabilities, and a truly eye-catching modern aesthetic, both inside and out. 

“With the Sirena 60, we are introducing a yacht to the U.S. market that perfectly matches the lifestyle and cruising expectations of American owners,” says Ensar Cabuk, US Country Manager at Sirena Yachts. “With the new Sirena 60, we are delivering on our commitment to our clients by offering market-leading volume, the best functionality, and cruising performance, paired with a modern and sleek interior and exterior design. Presenting her in Palm Beach is a significant step in strengthening our long term commitment to the American market.”
