Triton Expo — Fort Lauderdale Superyacht Night

Fort Lauderdale’s annual Triton Expo is back this week at Pier Sixty-Six, with more than 1,500 yacht crew, captains, and marine professionals expected. (journalbyyatco.com) The event is scheduled for Friday, April 24, 2026, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Superyacht Pavilion, 2150 Southeast 17th Street in Fort Lauderdale. Journal by YATCO says pre-registration is required, with one ticket per attendee. (journalbyyatco.com) The Triton Expo is organized by The Triton News and hosted at Pier Sixty-Six. The Eventbrite listing says guests without a ticket will be charged $10 at the door, the event is for ages 18 and older, and limited parking will be available in the Pier 66 lot and nearby areas. (eventbrite.com) The draw is less about yacht sales than about the people who run and service the boats. Journal by YATCO says more than 60 maritime brands will be on site, alongside food, drinks, and the “Yachtie Races,” a crew competition for prizes. (journalbyyatco.com) That focus sets it apart from Fort Lauderdale’s biggest marine showcase, the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show. FLIBS says its 2025 edition drew more than 100,000 attendees, 1,000 exhibitors, and 1,300 vessels across seven sites, including Superyacht Village at Pier Sixty-Six South. (flibs.com) The venue matters in its own right. FLIBS describes Superyacht Village at Pier Sixty-Six South as the show’s enclave for its largest luxury yachts, on the “Pier South” property beside the southeast corner of the 17th Street Causeway bridge. (flibs.com) Journal by YATCO says Fort Lauderdale remains an operational hub for the global superyacht fleet, and the expo is built around that working side of the business. Suppliers get face time with crew who buy, specify, and maintain equipment onboard, while crew use the night to compare refit yards, jobs, and service providers. (journalbyyatco.com) There is one date wrinkle in the public listings. Journal by YATCO’s April 13 article says April 24, 2026, while the active Eventbrite page and a Döhle Yachts event post list Wednesday, April 22, 2026, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the same address. (journalbyyatco.com) (eventbrite.com) (dohle-yachts.com) For anyone planning to go, the safest read is that the expo is on the Pier Sixty-Six South Marina calendar this week and requires advance registration. The exact date should be checked against the current ticket page before heading to 2150 Southeast 17th Street. (eventbrite.com)
