Annapolis Sailboat Show
The largest in-water sailboat show in the United States, and the one week of the year the whole catamaran market walks the same set of docks. If you are comparing boats, this is the fastest way to do it honestly.
Why this one matters
Annapolis is in the water, not in a hall. You step aboard rather than peer at a stand, and the boats you are choosing between are tied up within a few minutes’ walk of each other. For anyone weighing a catamaran, an afternoon here settles questions that a year of brochures will not — deck heights, sightlines from the helm, whether the galley still works when four people are in it.
Lagoons to see
Lagoon has confirmed the stand: the 38, the 43, the 51 and the 55, all in the water at City Dock for all four days.
Lagoon 38Best New Sailboat Overall at the 2025 British Yachting Awards. A self-tacking jib and 29 hp a side make her genuinely short-handed, and the volume below is not what forty-three feet of hull suggests.
Lagoon 43Nominated for European Yacht of the Year 2025. A new aft entryway in each hull changes how she works alongside a dock, and 105 m² upwind keeps her honest in a breeze.
Lagoon 51Multihull of the Year 2023. An owner’s suite with a walk-in, 149 m² upwind and 1,040 litres of fuel — built for the passage, not just the anchorage.
Lagoon 55The largest Lagoon on the dock. Sixty feet overall, a self-tacking jib and a flybridge that becomes the living room — four to six cabins below.Making the trip work
Show hours are 10:00–18:30 Thursday to Saturday, and 10:00–17:00 on Sunday.
Mornings are the quiet slot. The docks are empty, the boats are cool, and nobody is queuing behind you on the companionway steps.
Saturday is the busiest day of the four. If you want time aboard rather than a shuffle through, pick another one.
Book your appointment
Tell us which day suits and we will send two complimentary show tickets, plus an unhurried half-hour aboard before the crowds arrive. Our allocation is limited — the earlier you tell us, the better the slot.
