– How do I navigate the site? Do you have a tour with helpful tips?
We’ve created a video that gives you a tour of the show’s website by Co-founders Steve Stone and Nate Rooks:
– What are the selection criteria for the classic boats at the show?
Good, interesting boats with a classic aesthetic, construction and sensibility are the focus of this show. Boats built by hand to good designs are favored over modern production boats popped out of molds. We also like funk, so a funky houseboat with character and funk rates right up there with the finest of classic luxury yachts moored in Monaco or Cannes. We’re boatbuilders, camp cruisers, rowers, live-aboards. We like good, strong, beautiful, seaworthy boats more than prestige and exclusivity.
– How many boats are in the Show?
The 2022 Show featured over 1,000 boats!
– How many countries are represented?
Participating boats and organizations come from over 70 different countries.
– Can I add my own boat to the Show?
Yes, subject to review by our crew. Boat pages are created by owners, and you can CLICK HERE to create your own. We will only publish boat pages featuring several good photos and thoughtful/thorough descriptions.
– I know a great classic/wooden boating organization, but it’s not on the map. Can I add it?
Yes, please do! You can CLICK HERE to create a new organization page. Employees of the organization will be able to “take over” the page and edit it down the road if they choose.
– Will there be workshops/presentations at the Show?
The daily presentations are a highlight of each year’s Show. We do not focusing on how-to workshops – we have the whole Off Center Harbor website for that. The talks are inspiring and enlightening looks at different parts of the classic boating world, from a young bloke rowing across the Pacific to Women in the Trades and the Hidden History of Herreshoff. You can see the full lineup by clicking “Live Events” in the top menu above.
– Do you have more questions?
Feel free to leave a comment below or reach out to our crew at crew@classicboatshow.com.
Please extend another few days!

Can I view the real Deal still. was busy Friday at 4:30
Hi Jack – Yes, all live presentations and movie events will be available as replays on the same page through next Sunday, March 5th.
I have been trying to watch the Real Deal presentation but it plays for 2 seconds then cycles for a minute before playing for another 2 seconds. I have tried different devices and different wifi networks, exact same results. Help please.
I have an account with my e-mail address, but I can’t get access. I thought I had paid, but had some difficulty with your site.
Thanks,
Bruce

Hello again Nate. First off congrats on the opening night presentation. Everyone did a stellar job and I’m sure the effort to get where the show is today was huge. Tried searching using categories filters, I couldn’t highlight more than one before it took off. How to do ?

Unable to view the boats except for my own. Keeps telling me I need to get access pass or log in. Ian logged in????
Hi David,
It looks like we were able to troubleshoot your issue via email, but if you have any further problems, please contact us at crew@classicboatshow.com.
I can’t see the live presentation. When I tried to buy another all access pass it informs me that I already have one which is true. The sys tea is not allowing access while telling people they already have an al access pass.
Hi Eric,
We see you were able to purchase a pass this morning so you should have access now. If not, please contact us at crew@classicboatshow.com and we can help get you sorted.

It looks like you didn’t have a pass yesterday and you were able to purchase a pass this morning so you should be able to access the show. If you are having any further issues, please contact us at crew@classicboatshow.com.
Same problem here

Apologies for the late reply, but it looks like we were able to get your account sorted via email. If you are having any further issues, please contact us at crew@classicboatshow.com.
My for sale boat is listed in search but is not on the map.
Hi Paul,
You can find your boat on the main homepage map and as well as the classifieds map.
https://classicboatshow.com/classified/33-alden-malabar-sr-1959/
Is there a search function on the boat show website? For example, if I wanted to look up something like a sailing school or charter service in Hong Kong or Antigua, or Bangkok … is there a search bar where this search could be launched?
Hi Gregory,
You can select and deselect the map categories for “Schools, Boats, etc” on the homepage map. Or you can search by category under “Explore”. You can use the search fields underneath the map to narrow down the location or the map.
If I buy a boat, how is the transaction handled?
Money exchanged?
Boat picked up or delivered?
Hi James,
These classifieds are just to get you in touch with the sellers via their contact info on the page.
You will have to contact them and arrange the sale and conditions.
How do I change a price on my boat?
I need to edit the price on my boat profile but not sure how! It should read $174,900. Can you help me?-Kerry
I missed some of the presentations- will they be available to members later? Thanks, great show!
Hi Margaret,
Yes, they will eventually be available on Off Center Harbor.
Just checking. I listed my boat Black Witch a week ago but still have not heard anything and it does not come up when I do a search. The boat is Black Witch that is a historic Hacker Craft. Thanjj on s Syd
Hi Syd,
Our apologies for not getting Black Witch in this year – we were running flat out, and we couldn’t get to all of the boats entered after the Show has started.
Her page is still there, and I can already say that she’ll be accepted into the 2023 Show!
How can you view profiles? Want to review my local boaters. Hopefully I don’t have to message each for permission! What’s the point of profiles if no one can see them?
Hello My position on the map is way out of where I am (ca 500 km of course) How do I change it?
Båtbyggeriet Tunarps Kvarn AB.
Hi Björn. If you go to >My Account >Guest Map Settings you can change your town/etc and that will change your location on the map.
Where are the videos of boats?
Hi David,
Videos are available on the boat profile pages, but not all boats had videos submitted by the owner. We tried to include as many as possible in the pages we created. If you see a boat on the map or listed underneath, just click on their profile and you can find more information.
You can also search for “video” in the Boat search bar and it should bring up a lot of the boats that have videos attached (not all, yet)!
How do i view boats?
Hi Jeffrey,
You can view boats a couple of different ways.
The worldwide map on the homepage is a great way to zoom in and out around the world. The checkbox to the right will allow you to pick what will show up in your search.
You can also click on the category Boats in the upper menu to browse. You can enter different search criteria (for example, if you were looking for Herreshoff designs you could include that in your search).
Happy Exploring!
I entered my Hartley TS16,SWN Y MOR. Australia. I tried “search” but its not there.Can you help me find it?
I love just drooling over all the boats. But the constant in and out and running all over the map gets tiring… Is there another way to see all the boats? thanks
Hi Charles,
You can also click on the category Boats in the upper menu to browse. You can enter different search criteria (for example, if you were looking for Herreshoff designs you could include that in your search).
Happy boat exploring!
I would like to share this with some friends in Sweden or better yet, to Facebook but I can’t locate a share button.
Hi Christina,
You can click on the red button at the top of the homepage that says “Share Free Passes”

Thank you for sharing the Worldwide Classic Boat Show!
