“Woodwind” sails from temporary docks during the Spring Sailboat Show April 22-24.
What is the Spring Boat Show?
It is a collection of sailboats and vendors who are selling their boats, products, classes and more. There are boats of all sizes and they are open for you to go aboard. Many of the vendors have great deals on outdoor clothing, footwear, sunglasses and more. More Info
Tickets can be bought online (see below), at our normal dock office location, by phone or directly from the booth at the Sailboat Show.
For daytime cruises, you must have a ticket into the show, so all sailing cruise tickets include discounted Boat Show admission. Enjoy the show before or after your cruise.
Each trip is unique. All cruises depart from the Spring Sailboat Show and pass by the United States Naval Academy and then into the Chesapeake Bay. Spring sailing usually brings nice breezes for perfect sailing weather.
