Annapolis, MD. - When the 35th annual United States Powerboat Show opens on the City Dock October 12th, there will be something for nearly everyone on display. “If you like boats and boating, then this is the show to attend,” according to Powerboat Show Manager Dee Newman. “We will have around 600 boats on display on land and in the water, and every imaginable accessory and gadget to go with them.”
  
“Many of our exhibitors choose to introduce new boats, products or services at our show,” Manager Newman explained. “For example, this year we have new boats ranging from a 64 foot trawler yacht being introduced by Nordhavn Yachts to an 8 foot inflatable dinghy being debuted by Caribe Inflatables. New products go from a condo slip for your yacht in Belize being presented by Sapodilla Marina and Yacht Club to an innovative bottom paint being introduced by Sea Hawk Paints.”
  
“Other new boats at the show include a new 360 Express Fisherman from Albemarle Boats, a new Grady-White Express 305 and a new Shamrock, the 260 Stalker. The trend toward fast trawler yachts is represented by the Donelle 35, which cruises at 24 knots. The more traditional motor yachts are well represented also. Down East Yachts is introducing their Vicem 58 Flybridge, Martimo Offshore is premiering two yachts, the Martimo 52 and its big sister, the Martimo 60,” she continued. “One of the more interesting “crossover” boats this year is the Island Packet PY Cruiser, the first powerboat entry from this traditional sailboat builder.
  
Many new products are also being introduced at this year’s show, according to Manager Newman. “ On board electronics continues to be an area where new developments follow one another very quickly. SI-TEX marine and Nobeltec are both introducing new navigation systems. And last but not least, this is a powerboat show after all, and Mack Boring will be introducing a new line of Yanmar diesel engines.”
  
This year’s show is sponsored by long time sponsor Volvo as well as Foremost Insurance (Zurich) and K. Hovnanian Four Seasons at Kent Island.
 
The 35th annual United States Powerboat Show will take place on the City Dock in Annapolis. The show begins on October 12th and runs through October 15th. 

Parking is available at the Navy Marine Corps stadium and shuttle busses run to and from the show for an hour before and after the show. Special parking arrangements are in place for Saturday during the Navy football game. Follow directions on posted signs for alternate parking locations.
