USNA Yard Patrol Craft

UPDATE
We were notified Friday morning that the YP boat that was on display yesterday is unable to attend the show today or over the weekend. We are holding out hope that something will change and that she will be able to return Saturday or Sunday. If it does, we’ll get the word out right away.

Step aboard a working U.S. Naval Academy Yard Patrol (YP) Craft at the 2025 Annapolis Powerboat Show in celebration of the Navy’s 250th Anniversary. These 108-foot training vessels help midshipmen master seamanship, navigation, and leadership—often on weeklong missions up and down the Eastern Seaboard. Fun fact: they can cruise 1,800 nautical miles without refueling! This is a rare chance to explore the bridge, meet the midshipman crew, and see how the Navy trains future officers—right here in the Sailing Capital of the U.S.
