As one of the largest and most popular annual events in Fort Lauderdale, traveling to the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS) can be challenging for people located outside of Fort Lauderdale, which is why Brightline has partnered with FLIBS. Those interested in attending FLIBS can access exclusive shuttles to get to the show courtesy of Brightline. Riders arriving at the Brightline Fort Lauderdale station from north or south can go to the lower level and jump on the FLIBS Red Shuttle Loop to receive complimentary service to and from The Riverside Hotel. After arriving at The Riverside Hotel, riders can take the Fort Lauderdale Water Taxi, the official transportation partner for the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, to the main venue by purchasing a daily pass for $15 or a five-day pass for $65. The Water Taxi has dedicated 18 vessels and five stops to serve Boat Show patrons. The stops include:
- Riverside Hotel/Downtown Las Olas
- Convention Center/Hilton Marina
- Pier 66/SuperYacht Village
- Bahia Mar
- Galleria Mall/DoubleTree Hotel
The complimentary shuttles for FLIBS will begin to operate one hour before the show opens and will discontinue service one hour after the show closes.
