Get ready for the ultimate gathering of wooden boats and enthusiasts in New England at the Annual WoodenBoat Show, happening from June 28th-30th, 2024 at Mystic Seaport Museum.

In collaboration with WoodenBoat Publications, the WoodenBoat Show is a must-attend event for all wooden boat aficionados and maritime history enthusiasts. Witness over 100 exquisite traditional and classic wooden boats of various types on display, ranging from meticulously crafted kayaks to elegant mahogany runabouts, timeless daysailers, and majestic schooners.

Beyond admiring these historic vessels and stunning boats, visitors will have the opportunity to discover everything they need to outfit their own watercraft and acquire new skills through engaging demonstrations and workshops held throughout the weekend. A diverse range of exhibitors will offer items for sale, including maritime art, antiques, tools, books, nautical gear, and much more.

As part of the show, visitors can immerse themselves in the hands-on experience of rowing or sailing a small sailboat or rowboat, free of charge, at the Museum’s boat livery. Additionally, those interested can embark on an adventure aboard one of the boats participating in the John Gardner Small Craft Workshop, which runs concurrently with the show and is organized by the Traditional Small Craft Association.

Your admission to the Mystic Seaport Museum grants you access to both The Wooden Boat Show and the museum itself, providing a comprehensive experience. Three-day passes are available, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the world of wooden boats and maritime heritage.
