The largest in-water boat show in the world
takes place October 31 – November 4
Organizers of the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show
(FLIBS) announced a new two-year agreement with Delta Private Jets,
a wholly owned subsidiary of Delta Air Lines® (NYSE: DAL),
to be the official private jet carrier and presenting sponsor of
the show’s Windward VIP Club.
The largest in-water boat show in the world, FLIBS attracts
approximately 110,000 global boating enthusiasts and 1,200
exhibitors from 52 countries to a five-day extravaganza of the most
extraordinary yachts, and the largest display of watercrafts,
sought-after marine accessories, special events, and premier brands
every November in Fort Lauderdale.
“Private aviation and yachting go hand-in-hand, delivering the
utmost level of service and luxury travel accommodations. As the
official private jet carrier of the Fort Lauderdale International
Boat Show, the Delta Private Jets brand will complement the spirit
of yachting by inviting guests to learn about the luxuries of
private aviation,” said Kelly Love, VP of Corporate Strategy and
Business Development at Delta Private Jets.
The Marine Industries Association of South Florida estimates
that more than 1,000 private planes land at regional FBOs (fixed
base operators) during the show each year.
Delta Private Jets recently opened a new maintenance, repair,
and overhaul (MRO) facility at Sheltair Aviation in the Fort
Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, featuring a
15,000-square-foot hangar and 2,200 square-feet of office space.
The facility supports scheduled and unscheduled maintenance as well
as servicing of private aircraft elsewhere in South Florida by a
team of trained resident technicians.
“Similar to the yachting industry, private aviation is known for
its extraordinary luxury and personalized service, with the two
industries often intersecting due to their shared clientele,” said
show producer Andrew Doole, Vice President and General Manager of
Informa U.S. Boat Shows. “With its reputation for excellence built
over the past 30 years, we are more than pleased to welcome Delta
Private Jets as the official private jet carrier and presenting
sponsor of our Windward VIP Club.”

The Windward VIP Club is presented by Delta Private Jets and is
located at the Hall of Fame Marina. In partnership with Ulysse
Nardin, the Swiss luxury watch manufacture, this exclusive lounge
offers the amenity of a premium open bar and gourmet food offerings
from morning through the evening. The climate-controlled
environment will provide custom experiences including wine tastings

legendary super yachts and an impressive display of exotic
automobiles.
The Windward VIP Club also includes a dedicated concierge team
to arrange yacht tours, local dining reservations, private
transportation, and accommodations for private aviation on Delta
Private Jets.
Open during show hours from Wednesday, October 31 through
Sunday, November 4, Windward VIP Club passes are $300 per day per
