Maine Boat Builders Show 2018
This past weekend I attended the Annual Maine Boat Builders show in Portland, Maine. There were lots of interesting vendor displays of small rowing boats to large custom lobster yachts, and bottom paints to solar systems. Industry association and marine vocational school reps helped round out the mix. Historically, this show stood out from others due to its unique location and the knowledge level of booth representatives and attendees. alike.

Maine Boatbuilders Show, Friday, March 24 – Sunday, March 26
The spring boat show season is moving into high gear. The New England show finished a couple of weeks ago, and the Maine Show is on the horizon. While both shows feature new boats and marine services, there is a decided difference in the “feel” of them. The New England show is big, and revolves around recreational fiberglass production craft from a variety of large boat manufacturers. The Maine show is more intimate, and is comprised of small custom boat builders who work with wood and fiberglass, oftentimes using commercial Down East hull designs as their foundations. Both shows are [...]
46th Annual Newport International Boat Show, September 15 – 18th
It’s hard to believe, but summer is winding down, and the fall boat shows are on the horizon. The Newport show is particularly enjoyable due to its downtown location; in-water boat displays; accessory booth variety; and weekend workshops. The show always features an interesting mix of traditional and new products. Advance tickets are available at a discount through organizations such as Boat U.S. If you’re a boater and live anywhere within a few hours of Newport, this is a show that you won’t want to miss.
Maine Boatbuilders Show, March 18-20, Portland ME
The annual Maine Show is coming up fast. The Show will feature a broad and diversified group of marine specialists. Boat builders that work with metal, fiberglass, and wood will be on hand, as well as boat yards, marinas, paint manufacturers, electronic manufacturers, and many others. The Boatbuilders Show is very different from more mainstream shows held further south in that the setting is a large, old, rambling commercial waterfront structure and the environment has a strong Downeast flavor. If you consider yourself a real boat enthusiast, this show is well worth the trip.
