2021 U.S. Power and Sailboat Shows
October 8, 2021
Yesterday, Oct. 7, marked the opening of this year's U.S. Powerboat Show, held annually at downtown Annapolis' historic City Dock.
Haven Harbour Marina Resorts staff, including Managing Director Charlie Petosa, Operations Manager Mark Bryden and Marketing Manager Sawyer Cornelius, placed finishing touches on an exhibit that has taken years of experience, weeks of planning and numerous days to setup.
"Boat shows, especially the two held in Annapolis each fall, are a great opportunity for us to get our name out there," said Mark. "Especially for the folks who are new to the area or industry."
Annapolis Boat Shows, the organization responsible for operating the annual power and sail shows, cites that powerboaters and sailors from around the world gather along miles of docks in historic downtown Annapolis each October to celebrate over 50 years of boat show experiences. In particular, the United States Sailboat Show is an internationally-acclaimed event, recognized as the world’s largest show of its kind.
"We've been attending the boat shows now for over 20 years," added Mark. "With the events happening so close to us, there's no reason not to attend."
Boat show goers enjoy the opportunity to board and inspect new models from virtually every major power and sail manufacturer, make side-by-side comparisons of models, talk to industry experts and representatives and see the latest in boating products and services. Visitors may also enjoy hours of exhibiting, shopping, eating, drink tasting and live entertainment over the course of back-to-back weekends.
Haven Harbour will be manning Booths A2-A4 over the course of both power and sailboat shows. Learn more about the Annapolis Boat Shows by visiting them online at annapolisboatshows.com.
