The Connecticut Spring Boat Show is an annual marine exhibition held at Safe Harbor Essex Island, a waterfront marina on the Connecticut River. The event brings together boat enthusiasts, manufacturers, marine businesses, boat builders and visitors interested in boating and water-based recreation.

Visitors can explore a variety of boats displayed along the waterfront and meet representatives from participating marine businesses. Exhibitors provide information about boats, equipment, boating services and related products.

The show also features local artists through its Essex Art Deck, along with food, refreshments and live entertainment. It offers an opportunity for visitors to connect with marine industry professionals and learn about boating opportunities as the spring and summer boating seasons begin.

The show is produced by WindCheck Magazine and hosted by Safe Harbor Essex Island. It also supports Sails Up 4 Cancer, a non-profit organisation that uses sailing and boating activities to support people affected by cancer.
