What is the Annapolis Boat Shows?

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. 

The United States Powerboat Show features everything from luxurious motor yachts to trawlers, high-performance boats, and offshore fishing vessels. There are also family cruisers, center consoles, and inflatable and trailerable powerboats. Vendors' tents line the waterways, selling everything powerboat enthusiasts could dream of and offering boating lessons, rentals, and more.
