What You Might’ve Missed at the Miami & Atlantic City Boat Shows

Miami: New Models, North American Debuts, and a New Tender Line

If you weren’t on-site in Miami or Atlantic City, here’s a direct recap of what we covered — including walkthroughs, a virtual tour, and in-depth blogs on Zodiac’s newest launches.

Across both Miami and Atlantic City, Zodiac’s newest models were on display — giving buyers in both South Florida and the Northeast direct access to the brand’s latest releases.

Miami International Boat Show + Atlantic City Boat Show

In Miami, two major moments defined the show:

  • North American debut of the Zodiac X9 CC

  • Global spotlight on the new Zodiac Yachtline 4.0

Atlantic City extended that momentum to the Northeast, offering another opportunity to step aboard the lineup and see firsthand where Zodiac’s premium RIB and tender platforms are headed.

We filmed, toured, and published complete breakdowns of both models. Everything we captured — virtual tours, walkthroughs, and in-depth blogs — is compiled below.

  • Premium neoprene/hypalon tubes

  • Updated console and helm layout
