Step into summer this January at the 22nd Annual Providence Boat Show. Held at the Rhode Island Convention Center in Providence, RI, this three-day family-friendly event features hundreds of powerboats, sailboats, kayaks, and other watercraft; free seminars on boat handling, navigation and equipment; and plenty of inspiration with special appearances of the sport’s leading personalities and experts.
This year’s show, one of New England’s largest indoor winter boating expos, also includes hands-on activities for all ages, sea-to-table cooking demonstrations with the region’s leading chefs, and a special presentation on the Volvo Ocean Race, which makes its first-ever stopover in May 2015. The Providence Boat Show is the best place for all levels of boaters to shop, learn, and get inspired about boating in the Ocean State.
