Books at the Essex Boat Show


Books. Boats. More Books! The sailor turned author returns to the CT Spring Boat Show April 26-28, 2024 at Safe Harbor Essex Island. Greg Gilmartin will be selling books, talking racing and enjoying the first big yachting event of the season. PJ McDonough, Luke Parmelian, Kathryn Byrne plus Billy and his Boys will all be on hand to share in the experience of adventure, murder, romance, spying, smuggling and good old storytelling. Crew, Spy Island and Castle Fires will all be on sale. And don’t forget the racer’s favorite, Can’t Sail In Jail! Remember, every legend begins with a little lie, but needs some truth if it’s going to fly! The fun part is combing the truth from the lies!

We are also excited to be offering the just release audio book for Spy Island featuring the dulcid tones of narrator Bob Dio. Now you can enjoy the adventures of Luke and Petrika on Block Island, and you don’t even have to read. Just listen and enjoy!

The CT Spring Boat Show will showcase the latest marine offerings from boats to bowlines, engines and gear, with live entertainment and plenty of thirst slacking refreshments. The whole weekend will benefit Sails Up 4 Cancer, helping those who need a hand fighting the Big C.
