General Information
Attendance: Each year, the show attracts between 8,000 and 10,000 attendees. They come from all over, primarily drawn from the readers of Maine Boats, Homes & Harbors magazine, which produces the event. The attendees are mature, upscale, and affluent. The magazine’s subscribers have average annual household incomes of $282,000 and an average net worth of more than $4.5 million. They have a proven appetite for the finer things in life—yachts, custom furniture, art, and gorgeous homes.
Events: This is much more than just a boat show—there’s something for every member of the family. There will be live music, antique boat displays, the World Championship Boatyard Dog® Trials (pre-qualified dogs only, on Sunday), activities for families, and a mouth-watering variety of tastes from specialty food vendors.
The Site: Rockland (the self-styled "Arts Capital of Maine") is home to several successful summer festivals. It’s the hub of Maine’s Penobscot Bay, a world-renowned yachting and cruising destination. Just outside the show entrances is Rockland’s historic Main Street, lined with restaurants, antiques shops, art galleries, a boutique movie theater, and museums.

Event Promotion: We pull out all the stops to bring you the largest and best-qualified audience we can. For starters, we bring you the readers of Maine Boats, Homes & Harbors magazine and the visitors to our award-winning website: maineboats.com. You’ll see extensive ad campaigns in regional media including Soundings, regional radio, online resources, plus print ads in local papers from Kittery to Calais.
