New England Boat Show, Feb. 22-March 2
Captain Dave Carraro skippers the FV-Tuna.com and catches giant cod and tuna like nobody else. The star of National Geographic’s TV show "Wicked Tuna" is one of the attractions at the New England Boat Show, a nine-day nautical extravaganza featuring more than 800 new boats.

Seminars, clinics, and an interactive learning center help you get schooled on buying, caring for, and upgrading boats. History and geography lessons await, too, at "Old Charts of New England."
