WELCOME!

SEE YOU OUT HERE

Welcome to the Show!

There are endless ways to enjoy the water. If you’re a boater, you know. And if you’re new to boating, you’re about to find out. The Discover Boating® Norwalk Boat Show® in partnership with Progressive® has been the Southern New Englands’s premier in-water boat show for more than four decades—an ideal place to experience the boating lifestyle as you walk the docks and check out all the new boats on display.

What will you find at this year’s show? For starters—a terrific lineup of new boats. So, whether you’re looking for your first boat or your next boat, you’ll have plenty of options to shop and compare (plus take advantage of show deals and incentives). And even if you’re not planning to buy, it’s fun to see the latest innovations and cutting-edge designs.

You’ll also find a great selection of gear—accessories for all your favorite on-water activities and upgrades to enhance your time on the water. Not to mention items you didn’t know existed, or realize you needed.

Finally, to round out your day at the show, be sure to check out all the attractions and boating resources—on-water activities, family-friendly exhibits, and entertainment, too. There really is no better place to discover boating.

On behalf of our exhibitors, sponsors and the entire show team, thanks for joining us. We hope you enjoy the show. See you out here!
