Come to Mystic Seaport for a gathering of classic vehicles just like any other, except this one happens to take place on the water.
The Antique & Classic Boat Rendezvous is a dazzling display of high-quality antique vessels built before 1963, including cruisers, sailboats, runabouts, launches, and more. An award competition recognizes excellence in restoration, authenticity, and workmanship, among other criteria.
Dressed and in pristine condition, approximately 50 classic vessels create a colorful gathering along the Museum’s waterfront all day Saturday and Sunday morning for your viewing pleasure. Sunday the Museum’s National Historic Landmark steamboat Sabino leads the vessels in a jubilant, costume- and music-filled three-mile parade down the Mystic River.
