CT Spring Boat Show
Regional
Essex, CT
The 2025 Show had 70 Boats on display and over 50 Exhibitors. Together with our sponsors and the 2,000 plus attendees, we raised over $17,000 for Sails Up 4 Cancer. The weather dampened some of the action planned for the five bands on the docket. In 2026, we hope to expand further with larger performance and exhibit areas and even more boats. This is a rain or shine event. Children 13 and under are free when accompanied by a paid adult. Be sure to get a Children’s ticket for them when you are purchasing online. Each ticket/bracelet provides entrance for all three days. The show is a production of WindCheck Magazine and hosted by Safe Harbor Essex Island. Show 2025 sponsors include Essex Boat Works, Maritime Insurance International, Surfridge Brewing Co., Mohegan Sun Casino, Yacht Brokers Association of America (YBAA), Risk Strategies/Gowrie Group, The Griswold Inn, The Essex Steam Train & Riverboat, Experience Essex, and Saybrook Point Resort & Marina.
