Annapolis is THE original in the water boat show. Besides for all the boats and the town, the other interesting thing is most of the southbound cruising fleet is held in the Chesapeake until November 1, so the boat show is kind of an informal get-together for them too. IMHO it is well worth doing. Start planning NOW, the places to stay downtown go quick. If you want to save some money and have a car, there are outlying interesting places to stay.

In 2016 we visited the Newport boat show and are now thinking that it might be fun to plan a trip in October to the Annapolis boat show. But is it worth the trip compared to Newport? What we know: Actually there is not a lot of info about which boat will be displayed. It is about 5h further and it seems very expensive to find a place to stay, even a basic Airbnb. We are not looking to buy a boat anytime soon, so not targeting a particular brand or model, but would love to see an Arcona yacht. Mostly interested in visiting boats and nearby marinas if accessible. What are your experiences, insights? Is Annapolis worth it ? Thank you very much. Bruno Lachance Bécassine, 33-2 New-Richmond,Qc
