Annapolis Sailboat Show
Date: 15 October 2026 – 18 October 2026
Location: City Dock, Annapolis, United States
The Annapolis Sailboat Show is the fall gathering point for American sailing, held at City Dock in downtown Annapolis, Maryland. The 2026 show runs October 15 to 18, the week after the powerboat show clears the same harbour. New monohulls and multihulls line the floating docks so visitors can step aboard and compare boats hull to hull, while onshore tents hold sails, rigging, electronics, charter companies and gear. General admission is $32, children aged 7 to 15 pay $10, and kids 6 and under are free. Parking is at the Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium, with a free shuttle running to and from the show. Annapolis calls itself America's sailing capital, and during show week the claim is hard to argue with; the town fills with sailors, brokers, builders and people quietly talking themselves into a bigger boat. If you are shopping for a sailboat, this is the one to attend.
