This illustrated aerial map was created for the 2025 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show and focuses on the Pier 66 Marina, Superyacht Village and Hilton Fort Lauderdale Marina along the 17th Street Causeway. This area of the show is one of the most exclusive and visually striking sections, known for its concentration of large superyachts, luxury brands, and high end hospitality. The map presents a clear bird’s eye view of the surrounding waterways, marinas, and key venues, helping guests orient themselves within a complex and upscale environment.

Designed as both a wayfinding tool and a marketing asset, the map highlights important amenities and destinations such as the Windward VIP Club, the Oasis Lounge, dining areas, and exhibitor zones. By combining accurate spatial relationships with refined illustration, the map allows attendees to quickly understand how the Superyacht Village connects to nearby marinas and show features. This is especially valuable in a waterfront setting where access points, docks, and pedestrian routes can otherwise feel overwhelming.

The visual style was developed to match the premium character of this section of the show. Clean lines, thoughtful color choices, and controlled detail reinforce the sense of luxury while keeping the map easy to read at a glance. For exhibitors and sponsors, the illustrated format also adds polish and perceived value, supporting branding and guest engagement throughout the event.

Illustrated maps like this play an important role in large scale marine events, particularly in elite areas where first impressions matter. For boat shows, marinas, and waterfront venues, a well designed aerial map improves navigation, reduces confusion, and enhances the overall visitor experience. This project demonstrates how custom illustration can elevate wayfinding while supporting the sophisticated atmosphere expected at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show.
