The CT Spring Boat Show features sponsorship and support from the Yacht Brokers Association of America who will assist with marketing efforts to target new and seasoned boaters through boating media outlets in Connecticut and beyond. Visitors attending the free show will enjoy seeing a wide range of power and sail models from American Tug, Bavaria, Beneteau, Bennington, Blue Jacket, Catalina, Chris Craft, Elan, Hallberg-Rassy, Hunt, Impression, J Boats, Jupiter, Lagoon, Legacy, Limestone, Mag Bay, MJM, Nordic Tug, Sargo, Southport, Viking and more.

The larger location of the new Brewer Essex Island Marina will allow for visitors to view power and sail models of all sizes.  Dealer participation will be increased and will feature select opportunities for sea trials throughout the weekend.  

Historical Downtown Essex is located on the Connecticut River, a few short miles from Long Island Sound.  The small waterfront town is a boating, sailing and tourist destination featuring quaint shops, markets, and restaurants.
