Annapolis Boat Shows Transportation & Limo Service

The United States Sailboat Show runs Thursday through Sunday over the second weekend of October, followed by the Powerboat Show the next weekend; the Annapolis Spring Sailboat Show comes in late April and the Bay Bridge Boat Show in Stevensville the same month.

Downtown closes to most traffic during the shows; the show runs shuttles from the Navy-Marine Corps Stadium lots, garages on Duke of Gloucester and Gorman Streets fill by mid-morning and Eastport's side streets are permit-restricted.

We drop at the Compromise Street or Main Street curb a block from the show gates, or at the stadium shuttle lot if you prefer, and pick up at a downtown hotel or an Eastport restaurant so the car never enters the closed streets.

Nearby stops we combine with the event: the Naval Academy and Gate 1, the Annapolis Yacht Club, the Westin Annapolis and Graduate Annapolis, Eastport's Boatyard Bar & Grill and Carrol's Creek, the Historic Inns of Annapolis and Kent Island and the Bay Bridge Marina.

Boat show week turns downtown Annapolis into a pedestrian zone ringed by full garages. A chauffeur drops you steps from the gate, waits through the seminars and the dock walks and moves you between the show, Eastport and your hotel without a shuttle line.
