The “winter” in Miami is such a fabulous time of the year. In addition to the absolutely perfect weather, there are so many festivals and events taking place. This weekend will be quite busy given that Friday is Valentine’s Day, and it is a three day weekend because Monday is Presidents’ Day. However, what is even more exciting is that today the Miami International Boat Show kicks off!
Obviously, Miami has a lot to offer in terms of activities and entertainment. There is no doubt that the beautiful blue waters and the many water activities available are a huge part of Miami’s international appeal. Regardless of whether you have a boat, dream of buying a boat, or just enjoy boats, the Miami International Boat Show is definitely worth checking out. If nothing else, it is a great reason to hop over to South Beach and bask in the warmth of the sunshine that Miami will be lucky to have this weekend, especially considering what is happening to those poor northerners right now.
Just so everyone is clear, the event isn’t just about rich folks shopping for fancy boats, or not so rich folks getting depressed by seeing all of the beautiful luxury yachts that they probably cannot afford. The show also offers a lot of workshops and seminars in which participants learn about boats, boat maintenance, fishing, and other interesting water-related topics. There will also be a ton of different booths and vendors, and the stroll along the waterways will allow for lots of fun boat admiration and people watching.
For serious boat enthusiasts, the show will be a great resource, and it will be especially exciting for those who are considering tying a boat up at a Miami property with a boat dock. Just imagine cruising a shiny new sailboat, a superfast speedboat, or a luxurious yacht up to a dock like this, which would be in your backyard by the way. 
There are so many beautiful waterfront properties available in Miami (both with and without dock space), including South Beach condos, Sunny Isles Beach condos, Brickell condos, and so many other amazing neighborhoods and areas. Of course, waterfront Miami properties that don’t have docks still offer spectacular views and amenities. And, more importantly, they offer location, which anyone serious about real estate knows is the key consideration!
Irrespective of your Miami real estate interests or desires, if you currently reside in Miami, are just visiting, or might be moving to Miami in the near future, be sure to check out the show this weekend- it’s a Miami event that shouldn’t be missed!
