Miami Beach, Florida
5 - 7 Dec 2025
An exciting and colourful blend of world-class artists, fashion and music, Art Basel Miami is both a favourite winter meeting place for the art world and a superb addition to a Miami or Florida yacht charter.
Showcasing more than 250 of the top international galleries for modern art, Art Basel Miami has become a major player in the art world. Artworks from over 2,000 artists will be on display, ranging from paintings, drawings and sculptures to photographs, film and video.
Running for five days each year, the art event incorporates leading galleries from North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia, and Africa, with work from the masters of modern and contemporary, as well as from a new generation of leading stars.
Not confined to the Miami Beach Convention Center, however, the art is spread across the city transforming the streets of Miami into a district of design. Ambitious artworks and performances, for example, become part of the landscape at local beaches, Collins Park and Soundscape Park.
The event draws more than 70,000 visitors annually and offers an inspiring and exciting week for artists, collectors, curators, critics, and art enthusiasts.
Offering an extensive collection of galleries tailored to all different niches of art, there's plenty to see throughout the exhibition, all of which can be combined with a guided tour in collaboration with Artnexus.
However, if you'd like to visit all the galleries at your own pace, here are the exhibits you won't want to miss.
- Meridians - a collection of large-scale projects which look to push the boundaries of a more traditional layout for an art fair. Curated by Magalí Arriola since 2019.
- Nova - a display of curated works created within the last three years by a small selection of artists.
- Positions - a gallery for getting a taste of new up-and-coming artists.
- Survey - a gallery for showcasing art with historical relevance.
- Edition - a dedicated zone for galleries and publishers of editioned works and prints.
- Kabinett - a group of themed exhibits with historical showcases and solo presentations.
- Main gallery - extensive collection of modern and contemporary art ranging from emerging artists to masters of the 20th century.
Annually hosting the Discover Boating Miami International Boat Show (DBMIBS) in February, Miami is no stranger to visiting motor yacht charters. Hosting multiple marinas including SuperYacht Miami at IGY Yacht Haven Grande Miami and the Venetian Marina, there are plenty of opportunities to take in the sights of Miami Beach while attending the Art Basel event.
An ideal location for those who want to enjoy a cosmopolitan backdrop before heading off to paradise on a Bahamas or Exumas yacht charter, Miami has been known to welcome many staggering superyachts over the years including 278.11ft (85.01m) charter yacht VICTORIOUS and 200.2ft (61m) superyacht charter MARGUERITE, who both attended the 2024 DBMIBS.
