Fort Lauderdale, April 18, 2025 – After the overwhelming success of the YATCO SkyLounge in Palm Beach, YATCO is proud to announce its latest member-exclusive experience: the YATCO Ocean Lounge at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show 2025, hosted on the upper deck of the iconic Bo’s Beach, overlooking Fort Lauderdale Beach and Atlantic Ocean.
Just steps away from the main entry of the show, the YATCO Ocean Lounge offers a sophisticated escape from the busy showgrounds, the YATCO Lounge offers YATCO members and sponsors a dedicated space to unwind, connect, and conduct meaningful business in a relaxed, upscale setting just steps from the action.
“The overwhelmingly positive response from brokers, builders, captains, businesses and yacht owners alike was unanimous that the YATCO SkyLounge in Palm Beach was a great example on how business is done during yacht shows,” said Onno Ebbens, Chief Marketing Officer at YATCO. “At FLIBS, we’ll continue that value by providing a beautiful and convenient space where our community can meet, enjoy, and network.”
What to Expect at the YATCO Lounge at FLIBS:
- Private tables for YATCO Sponsors to host meetings and build strategic relationships.
- Curated happy hours to unwind with fellow industry professionals.
- An elegant, welcoming space for networking, deal-making, and genuine connection.
As part of its ongoing mission to empower the yachting industry through innovation and connection, YATCO continues to offer its members exclusive opportunities that go beyond the digital platform—adding real-world value to their experience and success.
Access to the lounge will be available to YATCO Members and Sponsors throughout the duration of the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, with a full schedule of hosted events to be announced in the run up to the show.
In addition to the YATCO Ocean Lounge Experience, as the Tech and Connect Platform of Yachting™, YATCO will continue to provide and expand upon its Show Promotions including Print and Digital SHOWBOOKS which help yacht buyers, sellers, and brokers alike navigate the docks; Featured Vessel Tags on YATCO.com promoting vessels being displayed at the show; and promotion of the shows to our global community of yacht sales and charter brokers, dealers, builders, businesses, captains, crew and yacht owners.
