America’s First Name in Boat Shows Trades Under New Name

Many thousands of people share nostalgic memories of visits to the annual sail and powerboat shows held in Annapolis since 1970. Long known as the Annapolis Boat Shows, the company that produced the shows originated the concept of displaying boats outdoors and in the water.

Now with the addition of an exciting new event, The Yacht Show at National Harbor, June 5-8 on the Potomac in the Washington, D.C. area, the company is taking on a new identity to better reflect its growth. From now on, the Annapolis Based producer of these shows will be known as the United States Yacht Shows.

The official name of the two Annapolis shows will remain the same, the United States Sailboat Show, held annually over the Columbus Day weekend, the United States Powerboat Show the following week and the Bay Bridge Boat Show, held in late April, but collectively and including any new shows we launch, our company will be know by its new name, United States Yacht Shows, Inc.
