The 2007 WoodenBoat Show, held at the Mystic Seaport Museum, welcomed attendees from around the world, who came strictly to attend the show! If your target market is wooden boat owners or enthusiasts, then you will benefit by exhibiting at the 2008 WoodenBoat Show.

“This show was the single most positive thing that I have done to promote my business! I have proposals out for three new boats to build for customers I met at the show! I could not be more pleased with the whole experience! Coes Smallcraft is greatly improved and energized by this show!”

~ Sam Coes, Coes Small Craft

“Wonderful setting...easy set up and tear down Great sales!”

~ Michael Syphrit, Mike’s Designs

“Location, location, location! Mystic Seaport has to be one of the best boat show venues anywhere — close to downtown Mystic and good restaurants - plus offering the first-rate appeal of its own exhibits and activities, from art galleries to tall ships to the small boat sheds. Great sailing on the Mystic River among a fleet of other boats operated by experienced folks who know boat handling.”

~ Mike Sprout, Gulf Coast Heritage Association, Inc.

“I had a great time talking boat building and sailing with designers and builders. Surrounded constantly with all the vast array of boat designs, I was like a kid in a candy store! It was a great weekend of boats, boats, and more boats.”

~ Ken Ford, Inventor of the Storable Mast

“I really enjoyed the variety of types of boats and other exhibitors. It was a perfect mix.”

~ Kim, Sea Education Association

“We were very pleased. The overall experience was beyond my expectations.”

~ Dudley Dix, Dudley Dix Yacht Design
