Stuff for Young Sailors

The Annapolis Sailboat Show is a great day out for the whole family, and there’s plenty to keep young sailors entertained. Kids can climb aboard boats of every size, explore cabins and cockpits, and picture themselves at the helm of their dream boat.

Safety First

Little ones can borrow a properly fitted life jacket at the BoatUS bridge before heading out on the docks. It’s an easy way to add peace of mind while your crew explores the show. Just return it when you’re done for the day.

Dockside Ducks

Keep your eyes peeled! Rubber ducks wearing an Annapolis Boat Shows tag are hiding all around the show. Find one, bring it to the Information Booth, and pick up a small prize. Best of all, the duck is yours to keep.

EWE Spirit Scavenger Hunt

Grab a clue sheet and set off on the EWE Spirit Scavenger Hunt. Kids will search the show for hidden items and discover something new at every stop along the way.

US Sailing Scavenger Hunt

Every sailboat is packed with clever engineering. With the US Sailing Scavenger Hunt, kids can track down simple machines like pulleys, levers, and winches on the docks and learn how sailors put them to work on the water.

Treat the Crew

The show sits right in the heart of downtown Annapolis, so an ice cream cone is never more than a short stroll away. It’s the perfect way to cap off a day on the docks.
