Water taxis have increased by more than 47 percent for 2017. In addition, the capacity of water taxis has doubled, allowing the show to transfer more than twice the amount of people than 2016. 

 

Water taxis are free and run every day between 9am to 7pm. Pick-up and drop-off locations have been streamlined from seven to four: American Airlines Arena, the Hyatt in downtown Miami, the W Hotel (formerly Viceroy) in downtown Miami on Brickell, and Bayfront Park (Strictly Sail location).  Note: You must have a ticket to the show to board a water taxi. Tickets are sold at each departure location. The final departure for return service from Strictly Sail to Miami Marine Stadium is 7pm.

Dozens of shuttle buses will circulate from fewer locations than in 2016 to provide a more efficient transportation experience—getting more people to and from the show in less time. 

 

Shuttle buses are free and run every day between 9am and 7pm. There are four departure locations throughout downtown Miami: Marlins Park, American Airlines Arena, the Hyatt in downtown Miami, and Bayfront Park (Strictly Sail location). A fifth location runs between the Miami Boat Show and the Yachts Miami Beach show on Collins Avenue. Note: Service runs between Miami Marine Stadium and Strictly Sail until 7pm.
