Annapolis Powerboat Show 2025

Annapolis Powerboat Show brings floating docks, new powerboats, sea trials, and hands-on marine gear to downtown Annapolis for four days of waterfront boating action.

The show transforms Ego Alley and Annapolis Harbor into a temporary marina where boaters, anglers, and newcomers can walk the docks, compare new models, and meet industry experts. Expect a broad mix of powerboats, exhibitors, demo opportunities, and on-land shopping for apparel and equipment.

Visitor tips

• Arrive early for quieter dock walk-throughs and better photo light.
• Parking near City Dock is limited; consider public transit, shuttles, or nearby garages.
