The Palm Beach International Boat Show wraps up Sunday.

The event, in its 31st year, brings boating and yacht enthusiasts to the waterfront in West Palm Beach for a weekend full or exhibits, shows and food.

This weekend, people checking out the super yachts had to dodge raindrops. But they tell us the weather didn't take away from the luxury on display.

The weather Sunday will be similar to Saturday with sun shining between passing showers.

This year's show features more than $1.2 billion worth of boats and accessories. One of the main draws is "Silver Fast," the world's largest and fastest aluminum motor yacht.

Organizers call the event one of the top five shows in the country. They expected 40,000 people to attend the four-day event this year.

Organizers say the show creates an economic impact of $100 million.

If you go, entrances are located along Flagler Drive at these intersections:  Lakeview Avenue, Evernia Street, Clematis Street and Banyan Boulevard.

Admission is $21 for adults and $11 for children aged 6-15.

The show is open from 10:00 a.m to 6:00 p.m.
