About Us
Beginning with the first-ever in-water sailboat show in 1970, for over fifty years, the Annapolis Boat Shows have produced in-water sail and powerboat shows where boaters may board the latest boat models, research and purchase boating equipment, foul weather gear, electronics, nautical education, charters, and everything else a boater or boat owner needs.

Today, the Annapolis Boat Shows’ four shows give boaters the unique opportunity to board and inspect virtually every new model on the market, make side-by-side comparisons, and talk to industry representatives about all aspects of buying and owning a boat.
