City Dock, Annapolis, MD
Your Chesapeake Getaway Awaits
Just over two hours from Philadelphia, downtown Annapolis becomes a working waterfront every October, with hundreds of powerboats docked and ready to board.
MAKE IT A WEEKEND
Annapolis isn’t just a boat show.
It’s a walkable waterfront town with cobblestone streets, a historic downtown, beautiful harbor views and restaurants, shops, and attractions just steps from the show.
Make the drive worth it. Book a night downtown and turn your boat show visit into a full Annapolis getaway. Spend the day exploring the docks and discovering your next boat, then head into downtown for dinner, drinks and a little time on the waterfront.
There’s plenty to see and do before or after the show, so don’t just come for the day. Make a weekend of it.
