April 12-13 Greenwich Boat Show, A Favorite Among Boaters

By: |

If you were to design the perfect boat show, you’d probably start by having a huge selection of great, new boats. Next, you’d have all those boats in the water ready to be tested because, if you’re going to buy a boat, you want to know how it rides, not just that it looks pretty. Finally, you wouldn’t want to pay a single cent to attend the show, so you’d make it completely free. What you’d be creating is Connecticut’s best in-water boat show, the Greenwich Boat Show. Early each spring, the Greenwich Boat Show is held on the Mianus River in Cos Cob, where boaters can easily test new boats on the open waters of Long Island Sound. Continue Reading →
