Frequently Asked Questions

When is The Portland Boat Show?  The Portland Boat Show runs February 26 – March 1, 2026 at 512 Warren Avenue, Portland, Maine.

Are boat show prices better than dealer prices?  Boat shows often feature competitive pricing and show-exclusive incentives. However, the real value of attending is hands-on vessel evaluation, direct access to manufacturer teams, and the ability to compare multiple models. Use the show to research, ask detailed questions, and gather information — then work with a dealer on final pricing and terms.

Do I need tickets in advance?  Check the official show website for advance ticket options and daily gate pricing. Advance purchase often offers savings.

What should I bring?  Bring comfortable shoes, a notepad or phone for notes, and specific questions about the features and specifications you're researching. Many visitors take photos and measurements for later reference.

Is the R-23 or R-25 right for me?  The R-23 is designed for trailerable cruising — easy to launch, manageable solo or with a partner, and built for coastal passages. The R-25 offers more cabin space and range for extended cruising. Visit our booth to discuss your cruising plans, and we can walk you through what each model offers.
