Stylish Miami is an irresistible superyacht destination at winter’s end thanks to a non-stop program of glittering events, eclectic entertainment and star-studded sport.
A thrilling destination before heading to the Keys, the Bahamas or the Caribbean, Miami ramps up the heat – and the action – from February onwards.
With daytime temperatures in the mid-70s, the climate is sublime, the energy is palpable and the city starts to dazzle.
Experience Miami boat show in style
The party vibe kicks off with the Discover Boating Miami International Boat Show 2025 on February 12-16, a five-day yachting extravaganza attracting owners and charterers of the world’s largest vessels.
This year’s show took place at six prestigious locations across the city, the highlight being Superyacht Miami, an exclusive enclave for the largest and most luxurious vessels at the show. Hosted at Yacht Haven Grande Miami, IGY’s stunning luxury superyacht marina between downtown Miami and world-famous Miami beach, this high-end enclave puts guests in the thick of the action.
Every year thousands flock to meet builders, designers and brokers, experience IGY’s exquisite service and enjoy easy access to the city’s hotspots including internationally-acclaimed restaurants, stunning beaches and hot nightlife.
Extend your stay and immerse yourself in ‘Carnaval’ – an eight-week celebration of Latin music, art and food from February 19 to April 19. Don’t miss Carnaval on the Mile, when Miracle Mile becomes a vibrant promenade for dancing, shopping and eating.
Open Tennis and Ultra Music
The action continues into March with the Miami Open Tennis Tournament, March 16-30, and Ultra Music Festival, March 28-30.
More than a world-class tennis tournament, the Miami Open is a cultural experience with music, food and art. This year’s event is no exception, with a series of theme days celebrating Brazilian and Hispanic heritage, inclusion and emerging young talent.
The end of the Miami Open coincides with the hottest music ticket in town, the Ultra Music Festival at Bayfront Park, Downtown Miami. This year’s lineup features world-renowned DJs and electronic music icons such as Axwell, Carl Cox, LSZEE and Subtronics.
F1 and beach cinema
As the heat builds, so does the action. In late Spring, the Miami Grand Prix rolls into town May 2-4, followed by the highly-acclaimed South Beach Film Festival, May 15-18.
Experience the adrenalin rush and roar of top F1 drivers racing at Miami International Autodrome, enjoy live music and DJs, and sample international cuisine at one of 65 restaurants around the circuit.
For a gentler vibe, visit South Beach Film Festival Film for three-days of international cinema, with culturally and socially relevant films, and director meet and greets.
