2025 Miami International Boat Show Recap

In February, the Lakeland Boating team traveled down to balmy Miami, Florida, for the 2025 Miami International Boat Show.

Below are a few of the new boats that debuted during the show.

Absolute’s Navetta 53 had its North American debut. Notable features of this yacht include an aft terrace cockpit, panoramic views from the primary cabin, a VIP cabin at the bow, a double cabin, and a crew cabin with a private bathroom at the stern.

The Aquila 42 and 46 Coupe had their North American debuts. The new boats feature sleek lines and a standard Hydra Glide Foil System. The boats feature a wide tunnel width, a high bridge deck clearance and will be available with both inboard and outboard propulsion.

Blackfin launched its brand-new 262 Hybrid Bay Series. This new line of boats blends offshore capabilities with inshore experiences.

Beneteau had its world premiere of the Antares 9 and the U.S. debut of the Swift Trawler 54. The Antares 9 is a fun, sporty weekender with a modular aft cockpit and two cabins. The Swift Trawler 54 features a spacious flybridge, six berths, a well-appointed galley with a raised passagemaker dinette, a large salon and an “architectural” flybridge stair.

Highfield Boats unveiled its new ADV7 crossover RIB with fiberglass hull, as well as its 560 VELOX with BRP jet power and a special pink sport 360 RIB for breast cancer awareness. The new ADV7 adventure crossover seats up to eight people, and features a convertible sundeck, an optional picnic table and more.

Hurricane debuted its two new boats at a nighttime party overlooking downtown Miami. The new SunDeck 3200 boasts a lot in its 32-foot package, including a cabin and separate wet head, convertible passenger seat and a spacious cockpit. The 24 Center Console Fishing Boat is a whole new category of boats; from the bow it looks like a deckboat, but is loaded with fishing features aft.

The Prestige F5.7 made her American premiere. This spacious yacht features three staterooms, a flybridge with an opening sunroof and a lateral sliding glass door in the salon that provides access to the deck.

Pursuit debuted its S 328 Sport Center Console. Pursuit took one of its most popular models and completely reinvented it. Highlights include a one-handed settee-to-berth conversion in the class-leading cabin, a hidden head and power provided by twin Yamaha 300 or 350 engines.

Stingray showed off its two new boats, the 259DC and 172DC, as well as a new bright white gelcoat on its entire model line for 2025. The new 259DC blends comfort, versatility and style, while the 172DC comes with a standard dual windshield, rod holders, four fusion speakers, and so much more.

Tiara had its world premiere of the new 56 LS, featuring expansive fold-down terraces, multiple social zones and tailored aft cockpit configurations for entertaining or fishing.
