United States Powerboat Show Returns To Annapolis This October

ANNAPOLIS, MD — The United States Powerboat Show will return to Annapolis in October in time to celebrate its 51st anniversary. The event will run Oct. 1–4 and the United States Sailboat Show will run the following weekend Oct. 8–12.

“The health and safety of our exhibitors, sponsors and attendees is our team’s highest priority,” said Paul Jacobs, president of Annapolis Boat Shows, in a news release. “As we plan for our fall shows, we’re taking proactive steps in response to the public health situation.”

Visitors will be allowed to purchase day-specific tickets in advance at the general admission price of $20 to help control numbers. All ticket sales are final.

“Once a day’s ticket allotment is sold out, you may select an alternate day,” Jacobs said.

The United States Powerboat Show will feature hundreds of new boats on display, from trailerable center-consoles to ocean-going yachts, plus previously owned yachts in a dedicated brokerage section. Larger boats on display in a marina of floating docks will be available for visitors to climb aboard and compare side-by-side. Some models will be available for test drives at the demo dock. Smaller boats will fill acres of shoreside exhibit areas, along with tents stocked with nautical accessories and services.
