Can anyone help explain why chloroarenes have lower boiing points than bromoarenes which have lower boiling points than iodoarenes?

Think about the chemical properties that affect boiling point.  How are these different in the three molecules you mentioned?

Is it the mass of bromine and iodine being heavier?

Yep.  You could also think about the polarizability of Cl vs. Br vs. I.  It is the same argument you would make with dispersion forces of alkanes.
