A rare chance to see vintage motor yachts and sailboats of all kinds from elegant 1920s-50s era mahogany runabouts and cabin cruisers to sloops, sharpies, yawls and schooners. Tour the vessels. Meet skippers and crews and vote for your favorite boat! A crafts market, artists, old time band music, the “Blessing of the Fleet” and Parade of Boats all add to this colorful event.
If you have a classic, please call for boat entry information. Boats don’t need to be in “show” condition. The spirit of the Festival is to gather together the grand old craft and all who love them.
