For collectors who equate a superyacht itinerary with a refined shopping list, Carrazza Jewelers has long been a quiet constant along South Florida’s marina circuit. Operated by Ed Suhyda from an intimate showroom at Bahia Mar Hotel & Yachting Basin, the boutique curates rare, collectible jewellery and watches from more than 100 European designers—bringing those finds ashore to events such as the Palm Beach International Boat Show (PBIBS) 2026.
Curatorial philosophy and provenance
Carrazza was conceived around a simple idea: source pieces that are not readily available elsewhere. Suhyda’s travels through Europe and his relationships with artisans across ten countries enable the boutique to offer 18‑karat gold pieces, heirloom‑quality jewellery and limited‑edition objects. That curatorial approach extends into Xcentrics, the gallery run alongside the store, where carved jade animals and scrimshaw made from prehistoric woolly‑mammoth ivory sit beside wearable art.
What’s on offer: watches, gems and one‑off pieces
The boutique’s watch roster reflects its preference for distinctive, boutique names rather than ubiquitous, mainstream marques. Brands represented include Franck Muller, Pierre Kunz (notably the Insanity collection), Cuervo y Sobrinos, Tamara Comolli, Cvstos Yachting Club and Tutima. Jewellery offerings emphasize 18‑karat gold set with rare coloured stones, bespoke configurations and pieces conceived as collectible artworks—items often produced in single digits or limited runs.
Boat‑show presence and how Carrazza approaches PBIBS
Though not a marine vendor, Carrazza has established a seasonal rhythm around South Florida boat shows—staging curated displays at both the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show and the Palm Beach International Boat Show. Social‑media invitations in the run‑up to PBIBS 2026 signalled the boutique’s booth and an on‑site opportunity for show attendees to view and purchase high‑value jewellery and timepieces. Carrazza’s boat‑show presentations typically spotlight bespoke items that underscore craftsmanship and whimsical design, examples of which include a jack‑in‑the‑box pin topped by a diamond‑studded cat and a honey‑jar pendant finished with a diamond‑paved bumblebee.
Where to view the collection
The boutique maintains a showroom at Bahia Mar Marina, 801 Seabreeze Blvd, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33316, where clients may schedule private viewings. During major show weeks Carrazza also offers on‑site appointments at its booth for convenient acquisition. Contact by phone is listed as (954) 523‑5237 and regular showroom hours are Monday–Saturday 9 AM–5 PM, with Sunday by appointment.
Why this matters: jewellery at the intersection of yachting and lifestyle
Yacht shows in cities like Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale have evolved beyond boats alone; they are curated lifestyle platforms where fashion, art and jewellery meet nautical spectacle. For boutiques such as Carrazza, these events place rare and bespoke luxury within immediate reach of a clientele whose purchasing decisions are often shaped by travel and leisure impressions. The presence of specialist jewellers enriches the cultural dimension of yacht shows, offering attendees not just accessories but conversation pieces with provenance and artisanal lineage.
