The arrival of the superyachts coincides with the kickoff of the bigger and older Progressive Miami International Boat Show taking place through Feb. 15 at the city’s marine stadium.

It's basically the Art Basel of the boating world, with several satellite events now in its orbit. Here we take a look at Superyacht Miami, which focuses on mega-yachts for the ultra-wealthy.
