The Unofficial Opener of the 2024 Bay Boating Season
As the gentle breezes of spring begin to warm the shores of the Chesapeake Bay, excitement stirs in the air with the much-anticipated return of the Bay Bridge Boat Show. Heralded as the unofficial opener of the 2024 boating season, this vibrant event is setting sail on April 15th, promising an unforgettable weekend of nautical thrills and family fun.
Annapolis Boat Shows will be hosting the 2024 Bay Bridge Boat Show April 12-14 at the Bay Bridge Marina in Stevensville, Maryland. This year, there are expected to be over 250 powerboats on display and close to 200 total exhibitors. Educational programming continues to be a central focus of the show with paid courses and free seminars from Cruisers University, BoatUS, and the US Coast Guard Auxiliary. Angler-oriented programming has seen a significant expansion and a shift in focus towards invasive species – the most notable addition being the public kick-off of CCA’s (Coastal Conservation Association Maryland) revamped Great Chesapeake Invasives Count. One thing that certainly has carried over from last year is the show’s broad appeal, drawing in anglers, pleasure boaters, and landlubbers with a vast array of activities, giveaways, food, drink, and music
