We are Wso excited for you to see the boats and products on display, learn from the experts, and enjoy the special features that this year’s show brings your way. Here at the Rhode Island Marine Trades Association, we call this boat show new—because our association took ownership of the show only last year and we’ve been inspired by the challenge of finding new ways to bring you the excitement of boating each January. In reality, the Providence Boat Show is 22 years old and an annual tradition in the Ocean State. With our state’s incredible boatbuilding craftsmen, service technicians, and legendary sailors, it is no surprise that Rhode Island’s marine industry would come together to produce one of the best indoor winter shows in the country. Here is a taste of what we have in store for you. Produced by Our Show Pavilion, sponsored by Washington Trust Company, is our main hub of activity; stop there often while you’re at the show! Visit our Volvo Ocean Race feature, where you can feel the energy, taste the excitement, and prepare for the arrival of the round-the-world fleet in May. And don’t forget to take a trip to Reel Island, brought to you by Rhode Island Coastal Angler Magazine, featuring Captain Jack Sprengel and his cadre of catch experts presenting on the hottest topics for fishing enthusiasts.
