The Annual Maine Boat & Home Show scheduled for August 7-9, 2020 has been cancelled in response to the pandemic

Welcome!
 It is with great sadness that Maine Boats, Homes & Harbors has cancelled its 2020 Maine Boat & Home Show in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Held every summer on the Rockland waterfront since 2003, the show is hosted by Maine Boats, Homes & Harbors magazine. Publisher John K. Hanson Jr. said the decision came after Maine Gov. Janet Mills cautioned that large gatherings likely will continue to be prohibited in the state throughout the summer, and that visitors to Maine will be required to quarantine for 14 days. “In addition, a main concern for us was the safety and health of people in Rockland and the midcoast region,” Hanson said. “We don’t want to do anything that might cause harm to this community that has given so much to us over the years.” We will miss you this summer, but look forward to seeing you next year.
If you love the coast of Maine, you won't want to miss this high-end, high-summer event in Rockland, Maine, the second weekend in August. Each year we gather Maine's finest artists, architects, boatbuilders, craftsmen, designers, furniture makers, jewelers, and marine gear vendors together in ONE place at ONE time!  Meet them all in person at the annual Maine Boat & Home Show.

It's the pages of Maine Boats, Homes & Harbors magazine brought to life and the largest in-water boat show north of Newport, Rhode Island, with more than 60 boats in the water and 100+ exhibitors in tents and on the grounds.

WE LOVE VOLUNTEERS!

The Maine Boat & Home Show would not be possible without the tremendous efforts of our intrepid volunteers. From setting up tents and traffic cones, to staffing ticket booths and collecting trash and recycling, our volunteers make it all work.

Want to volunteer? Great! We need handy men and women, hosts and hostesses, and people who love to be by the water helping out. As a thanks, we'll give you two show passes, a cool Show Crew t-shirt, and a year's subscription to Maine Boats, Homes & Harbors magazine. Just send an email to showinfo@maineboats.com for more information.
