Yesterday saw the opening of the 53rd Fort Lauderdale Boat Show, which has brought in some of the world's best designers and architects, and plenty of wealthy boaters, brokers, experts, and suppliers. According to Super Yachts, more than three million square feet of ground is being covered by the event, which is filled with some of the most exciting yachts cruising today, including Diamonds Are Forever and Kismet.

The luxury yachting event (which runs until October 29) features an endless list of superyachts just waiting to be drooled over, as well as plenty of exhibitors and visitors. Among the grand vessels will be Cakewalk and Lady Linda, two big names that will surely draw in quite the crowd. Make sure you take a jacket to fight the chilly winds - which may reach 35 miles per hour - so you can properly experience the display of boats without having to chatter your teeth. The gloomy weather is thanks to Hurricane Sandy, which will stay a few miles off the coast of Florida but will surely bring the boat show lots of wind and rain throughout the weekend.
