Itinerary
Why fly private from Dallas to the Palm Beach Boat Show
Serious buyers like to be on the docks early, before the weekend crowds. A morning departure from Addison lands at PBI in time for broker meetings the same day, with no connection through another hub.
Palm Beach International (PBI) is about 20 minutes from Flagler Drive, so the drive from the ramp to the show entrance is short and predictable.
The show is the spring buying event for many owners, from sport-fishing boats to larger motor yachts. Arriving rested and on time makes long days of viewings easier.
The show usually falls near the end of the Palm Beach season, when the island's restaurants and clubs are still busy. Many Dallas visitors add a few days in Palm Beach.
Return when your meetings finish, whether that is Sunday afternoon or Monday after a final viewing or sea trial. The schedule is yours to set.
Airports and FBOs
Addison Airport (ADS) is the most convenient Dallas departure for the northern suburbs and handles early-morning departures well. Dallas Love Field (DAL) serves Highland Park, University Park and Uptown. In Florida, Palm Beach International (PBI) is about 20 minutes from Flagler Drive and is the usual private arrival for the boat show. Palm Beach Executive (LNA) in Lantana is a quieter alternative if you are staying south of the island. We confirm FBO and ramp details ahead of show week, when private traffic is heavy.
Return flights from Palm Beach to Dallas
Most guests fly back to Dallas Sunday evening or Monday morning, after the last broker meetings. You can keep the aircraft waiting for a round trip or book two one-way flights. Some empty legs appear as aircraft return to Texas after the show, and we can check them for your dates.
