Our Yachting team showed up in full force at the 2025 PBIBS

The 2025 Palm Beach International Boat Show (PBIBS) took place from March 19 to 23 in downtown West Palm Beach, FL, once again confirming its role as a key event for the yachting industry. With over 1,000 boats on display, 55,000+ attendees, and 600 exhibiting brands, the show attracted industry professionals from around the world.

As an international player in yachting services, our Group was there to strengthen relationships, explore new business prospects, and connect with key industry players. Representatives from Pesto Sea Group, FemoBunker, Catalano Shipping Services Mediterranean and Monaco Yacht Partner  attended the event, engaging with yacht owners, captains, and industry specialists to reinforce our presence and expand our network.

The timing of PBIBS makes it a particularly strategic event, as it takes place just before many yachts begin their journey to Europe. This creates a prime opportunity for our teams to engage with captains and fleet managers, positioning our services as essential for their upcoming operations. Throughout the show, visitors had the chance to discover the latest innovations in yacht and superyacht design, sportfishing boats, cruisers, and marine accessories. 

For Pesto and Catalano, the event was a valuable platform to showcase their expertise in yacht agency, concierge, and shore support services. A fruitful  opportunity to engage with captains and industry professionals who rely on their expertise for seamless operations in the Mediterranean and beyond. Furthermore, some of the Representatives travelled a few days ahead of the Show, allowing them to visit boats on the surrounding marinas before the craze of the event, with a great feedback as the Head Crew are much more available for quality discussions on the sidelines of trade Shows.

FemoBunker, on the other hand, used this opportunity to connect with management companies, captains, and chief engineers actively seeking high-quality fuel supply solutions. Meeting with local suppliers was instrumental in optimizing bunker operations across key locations.

PBIBS once again reinforced its role as an essential industry gathering, not just for showcasing the latest in yacht and superyacht design, sportfishing boats, and marine accessories, but as a vital networking hub where professionals can forge new connections and strengthen existing collaborations.
