Triton Expo Fort Lauderdale Superyacht Night

Fort Lauderdale’s annual Triton Expo is set for Friday, April 24, with superyacht crew, captains and vendors gathering at Pier Sixty-Six’s South Marina. (journalbyyatco.com) The event is scheduled for 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the South Marina Superyacht Pavilion, 2150 Southeast 17th Street, and The Journal by YATCO says more than 1,500 industry professionals are expected. (journalbyyatco.com) Event listings tied to The Triton say attendees will move booth to booth among 60-plus maritime brands, with cocktails, food and “Yachtie Races” folded into the evening. (eventbrite.com) The expo is built around a specific part of South Florida’s marine economy: the crews and service companies that keep large yachts operating between charters, crossings and boat-show seasons. Pier Sixty-Six sits on Fort Lauderdale’s 17th Street corridor, one of the city’s busiest yacht-service zones. (journalbyyatco.com) (flibs.com) That location matters in April because Fort Lauderdale’s spring calendar is lighter than the fall Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, but marinas, suppliers and crew are still cycling through the city. The 2025 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show drew more than 100,000 attendees and 1,000 exhibitors across seven sites, including Pier Sixty-Six Marina and Superyacht Village at Pier Sixty-Six South. (flibs.com) The Triton Expo has become a recurring crew-night format rather than a trade show aimed at retail boat buyers. Armada Club’s event notice describes it as an annual evening gathering for more than 1,500 captains, crew and industry leaders with more than 60 sponsors onsite. (armadayachtclub.com) The host brand traces back to The Triton, a long-running publication focused on yacht captains and crew. That editorial niche helps explain why the event mixes recruiting, supplier outreach and socializing more than yacht sales. (the-triton.com) For crews, the pitch is practical as much as social: one stop to meet chandlers, travel providers, training companies and yacht-service firms that sell directly to working vessels. For vendors, the draw is access to the people who make day-to-day purchasing recommendations onboard. (eventbrite.com) (armadayachtclub.com) As of April 20, the event remains listed for Friday night at Pier Sixty-Six, keeping Fort Lauderdale’s superyacht corridor busy for another spring crew gathering before the next major show cycle.
