The 48th annual United States Powerboat Show opens this weekend, October 3-6, 2019, with more than 500 boats shinned and ready in historic downtown Annapolis. The boat show features on-land displays with boating equipment and gear of all kinds. Cruisers University will be back by popular demand with a comprehensive educational program.

Here is a class schedule; unfortunately, the entire show is sold out, but at least you can understand the curriculum give.

The United States Powerboat Show excels in the Brokerage Cove and a Demo Dock. These locations are where dealers and manufacturers conduct demonstrations of new model powerboats to the boat buying public.

Annapolis provides the boat buying an excellent opportunity to see virtually every style of boat available up close and in person.
