Boat Builders Show on Cape Cod

The Boat Builders Show on Cape Cod was created 16 years ago to showcase the boats built by smaller, independent boat builders. It is one of the few boat shows in the country dedicated to providing these builders an opportunity to showcase their work and demonstrate to the boating public the level of quality and personal service that is available. Most of the builders are on Cape Cod and the South Shore, and the event is a chance for boaters and boat builders to talk about their mutual passion of boating. Other exhibitors include marine-related businesses from sail makers to those in engine repair and repowering, nautical books, coatings, marine technology, pennants and flags, marine canvas, nonprofits and more.

Builders can show their artistry, skills and mastery of boat building to an appreciative audience. The show hours are Friday 2-7 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m.-6 p.m., and Sunday 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Admission is $10 and children under 12 are free. A ticket to the show includes admission to the Cape Cod Maritime Museum, 135 South Street in Hyannis. www.capecodmaritimemuseum.org.
