The temperature is dropping and leaves are trading their lush green for orange and red; the end of summer in New England is here. With summer in our wake and next year’s cruising plans beginning to take shape, now is the perfect time to shop for that next boat.

Starting this Friday October 7 and running through the weekend, the AIM Marine Group (parent company of Soundings, Soundings Trade Only, Power & Motoryacht, Passagemaker, Sail, Anglers Journal and Yachts International) will be hosting the first-ever Connecticut Fall Boat Show. The event will take place at Safe Harbor Bruce & Johnsons marina in Branford, Connecticut.

Among the brands to be displayed are Pardo, Beneteau, Tiara, Pursuit, Sabre, Edgewater and more. And exhibitors continue to be added to the list of participants. Click the gallery below to get a feel for some of the brokerage boats you’ll be able to see at the show.

Editors from the AIM Marine Group will be on site, too. When you see one of our staffers on the docks, please stop and say hello!
