United States Sailboat Show Annapolis

Date: 15 October 2026 – 18 October 2026

Location: City Dock, Annapolis, United States

Organizer: Annapolis Boat Shows

The United States Sailboat Show has taken over City Dock in downtown Annapolis every October for over five decades, and it is still the largest all-sail boat show in the world. The 2026 edition runs from 15 to 18 October. Floating docks fill the harbor with monohulls, multihulls, racers, cruisers and dinghies from builders around the world, many making their US debuts here. Tents on land carry sails, rigging, electronics, gear, charter companies, schools and clubs. The setting does a lot of work: Annapolis is a genuine sailing town, and for four days the show and the city blur into each other, with crews, brokers and dreamers filling the dock bars each evening. General admission in 2026 is 32 dollars, with reduced tickets for children. If you only attend one sailboat show in North America, this is the obvious pick.
