Love boats? Then the 64th New England Boat Show at the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center February 9–17 is the place for you. In addition to displaying vessels of all sizes and styles—from inflatables to yachts—by dozens of manufacturers, this seagoing extravaganza also features seminars and demonstrations on everything from fishing to maintenance, virtual reality trainers, contests and giveaways, and experts offering advice on whatever you need to help realize your nautical dreams. There’s even something for the young ones on Saturdays and Sundays of the show, as a toy boat building area offers the chance for kids to test their skills and imagination by crafting one-of-a-kind souvenir creations.
