Connecticut Spring Boat Show at Safe Harbor Essex Island

The 9th Annual Connecticut Spring Boat Show returns to Safe Harbor Essex Island from April 25–27, 2025, featuring an impressive lineup of new and brokerage boats, both power and sail, ranging from 20 feet to over 65 feet.

As New England’s first in-water boat show of the season, this event offers a unique opportunity for attendees to explore the latest innovations in boating, sailing, and fishing. Visitors can board boats in the water, meet with yacht brokers and dealers, and enjoy live music. In addition to the boats on display, the show will feature exhibitors offering boating gear, marine services, accessories, and artwork.

Tickets are $20 per adult in advance and $22 at the gate, with free admission for children 13 and under. Each ticket grants access all weekend long, and 50% of ticket proceeds will benefit Sails Up 4 Cancer. Over the years, the event has raised more than $25,000 for the organization.

The show is produced by WindCheck Magazine and hosted by Safe Harbor Essex Island Marina. Sponsors include Essex Boat Works, Essex Steam Train and Riverboat, Gowrie Group, The Griswold Inn, WindCheck Magazine, the Yacht Brokers Association of America (YBAA), and Maritime Insurance.
