Even though the docks looked a little different this year, the 62nd Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show took over South Florida from October 27 to 31. For five days, attendees, captains, crew, and industry members experienced the hustle and bustle, along with the ever-changing Florida weather, on the docks.
As for Dockwalk, our editors caught up with crewmembers, industry members, crew agents, and more throughout the show, along with attending events like the Hill Robinson Crew Luau and a floral workshop/contest at The Oasis Lounge.
