A Tale of Two Seasons: New England Boat Show

We realize that it’s the middle of the winter, but we’ll bet you’re dreaming of the warm weather!  Go see The Progressive Insurance New England Boat Show at the Boston Convention Center and spend the day looking at boats, yachts, schooners, and nautical displays galore and you’ll feel like it’s the middle of summer. Two seasons collide as the boat show represents all we love about warm weather. Long sunny days boating, fishing and sailing on the coastlines, rivers and lakes of New England. Ironically, it gets underway February 9th – 17th smack in the middle of winter. So set aside the shovels, skis and snowmobiles and sample what spring and summer of 2019 might look like at the boat show.  You can get buy one get one tickets here!
