Hailed as one of the finest the Annapolis Power Boat Show offers something for nearly everyone. The gamut runs from luxurious motor yachts to large offshore fishing trawlers. Cruisers, centre consoles and all the varieties currently available are on display at the Annapolis City Dock and Harbor.
An annual event, the oldest and largest in-water power boat show continues to offer a wide variety of boats and an ever expanding approach to displaying them.
In 2001, a show-within-a-show was first opened. The multihulls, together with the trawlers, were displayed separately for the first time.

As for other important items - what is a power boat show without the debut of a new line of engines? To the thrill of many, Mack Boring will be introducing a new line of Yanmar diesel engines.
