Join us for the 37th Annual Georgetown Wooden Boat Show on October 17 and 18, 2026.  

The Goat Island Yacht Club Regatta / Friday Night Auction will be held on Friday, October 16, 2026. 

The Georgetown Wooden Boat Show – always held on the third weekend in October – features one of the Southeast’s best wooden boat exhibits with more than 100 classic wooden boats displayed on land and water, boatbuilding, a corrugated boat race, children’s model boatbuilding, a youth sailing regatta,  knot tying, maritime arts and crafts, and food.   

The Wooden Boat Show takes place on the waterfront and along Front Street in Historic Downtown Georgetown. The Show is produced by the Harbor Historical Association, a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization. All proceeds benefit the South Carolina Maritime Museum.  

Spirit of South Carolina Comes to Georgetown!

We’re excited to welcome the Spirit of South Carolina to downtown Georgetown during the 37th Annual Georgetown Wooden Boat Show!

South Carolina’s tall ship is planning to sail into Georgetown and be downtown during the show, giving visitors the opportunity to come aboard for on-deck tours, see the vessel up close, and participate in activities.

It’s an exciting addition to a weekend celebrating boats, maritime heritage, craftsmanship, and life on the water.
