Baltimore Boat Show Sails into Convention Center

Maryland’s longest running and largest indoor boat show returns to the Baltimore Convention Center, Jan. 19-22, providing on-the-water enthusiasts a chance to shop the newest boats and cutting-edge gear and accessories while experiencing summer fun and learning the benefits of the boating lifestyle.

At the Progressive Insurance Baltimore Boat Show, boaters dreaming of warm weather excursions can climb aboard hundreds of boats for every budget and lifestyle from the area’s top dealers—from luxury yachts and family cruisers to fishing boats and personal watercraft for action-packed days on the Bay.

Dozens of exhibitors will offer the latest marine, fishing, and electronic accessories to outfit any boat and excursion on the water.

Families looking to escape the harsh winter will love the contests and children’s activities throughout the show, including a crab picking contest and nautical trivia challenge.
