Fort Lauderdale Boat Show Transportation

The Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show is not held at one place. It is held at seven, spread along several miles of waterfront, and the difference between a good day and a wasted one is usually the route rather than the ticket. This year’s show runs Wednesday, October 28 through Sunday, November 1.

 

Rodlymo is veteran-owned, and for this week the useful thing we sell is not a car. It is a driver who already knows which of the seven sites you actually need, and who will hold the vehicle rather than make you find it again at the end of the day.

Seven Sites, Not One

Bahia Mar Yachting Center on Seabreeze Boulevard is the main show and the one everybody names — it is not the whole story. Six more sites round out the show, and Rodlymo retains the vehicle for the day rather than dispatching per stop, so the driver who dropped you at Bahia Mar is the same one waiting at the next site.

Airport Runs to the Boat Show

FLL — roughly 5 to 10 miles from the boat show sites; plan for 20 to 30 minutes outside of show traffic.

MIA — roughly 30 miles south; plan for 45 to 60 minutes outside of show traffic.

PBI — roughly 45 miles north; plan for 55 to 70 minutes outside of show traffic.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you transfer us between the different boat show sites?

Yes. Transferring between Bahia Mar, Las Olas Municipal Marina, and the other sites is one of the most common requests during show week.

Yes, and it is one of the most common things we do. Sprinter Vans work well for parties attending the show together.

For four or more passengers with checked bags, the Sprinter Van typically offers more comfortable room than an executive SUV.

Yes. Rodlymo covers Fort Lauderdale Executive and Opa-locka Executive for show visitors, in addition to FLL, MIA, and PBI.
