The Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show has added additional shuttle buses and water taxi services to navigate guests safely around the five-day outdoor show while accommodating socially-distanced seating for riders.
Both forms of transportation will adhere to the show’s new safety and health guidelines including undergoing deep cleaning before visitors’ board. Before boarding a water taxi, guests will have their temperatures checked after their pre-purchased, digital show tickets are scanned through a contactless system.
With ample parking and routine cleaning for all show transportation options this year, visitors will have the opportunity to safely experience hundreds of exciting exhibits planned across the nearly 90-acre show spanning six waterfront locations.
Visitors will have access to two designated valet parking locations and a plethora of self-parking options surrounding the show’s multiple sites.
