After combining Miami’s annual boat and yacht shows into one grand event, organizers are ready to dazzle crowds at multiple venues throughout the city from February 14-18.

ONE Sotheby’s International Realty would like to invite homeowners who would like state-of-the-art marinas with ample dockage and deep-water slips to tour our exclusive developments such as St. Regis Residences, Miami and Pier Sixty-Six Residences in Fort Lauderdale.
