Washington D.C is a city whose location along the Potomac River has played an important role in its history. With an East Coast location, access to water is a big part of the city’s identity, and it has thus become a hotspot for boat lovers. Two events are headed for the D.C area in the near future that will give those who enjoy spending time on boats a great, family-friendly experience. Let’s take a look at what they are.
The Chantilly Family Boat Show

Bay Bridge Boat Show
Annapolis is one of the centers of America’s boating legacy for several reasons. For one, its location on the Chesapeake Bay positions it in the perfect environment to get out on the water. It is also where the U.S Naval Academy is based, so it is a city where boating is a big part of life. The Bay Bridge Boat Show is a great celebration of this boating culture.
The Bay Bridge Boat Show takes place from April 21st-24th in Stevensville, just across the water from Annapolis. It is set at the Bay Bridge Marina, and tickets are already on sale. General Admission to the event costs $18 with the purchase of advance tickets, and children under 12 can enter for free.
The Bay Bridge Boat Show will feature a variety of power and sailboats. There will be several innovative new boats from top local marine companies, and attendees can find great prices on several different kinds of watercraft. From yachts to catamarans, whatever your preferred water vehicle may be, you can likely find it here.
This event isn’t just for looking either. If you want to find out if a boat is right for you, the best way to do this is to experience it first-hand. At the PropTalk Demo Dock, dealers will be conducting demonstrations and sea trials of new model boats, pontoons, jet boats, and more. This is an opportunity for attendees to see the vehicles they are curious about in action.
There will also be educational opportunities at the Bay Bridge Boat Show. There will be seminars, classes, and workshops that provide interesting insights from top boating experts. There will also be lessons, including a custom rod building lesson, so you can get out on the water and do some fishing.
The show has many other fun features on offer, including prize giveaways that have been donated from sponsors, a food court, beer stations, and more. Annapolis is a great place if you love the water, with a long boating legacy and a prime waterfront location. You can start preparing for the upcoming boating season in fashion at the Bay Bridge Boat Show.
