Experience the Marina Lifestyle at the Bay Bridge Boat Show
After 26 years at the Bay Bridge Marina, the new Bay Bridge Boat Show venue at Safe Harbor Narrows Point promises to retain much of what attendees love about the show and allow visitors to experience the marina lifestyle. More amenities and better parking will add to visitor convenience. This year’s move marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for the Bay Bridge Boat Show (April 11-13).
The Bay Bridge Boat Show has a great atmosphere. That’s because the show’s largest exhibitor has always been the venue. Safe Harbor Narrows Point will allow attendees to try the marina lifestyle this year. You can explore boats, walk the docks, hang out with fellow boaters, and grab a drink at the pool bar. It’s a rare opportunity to try being a boater for a day. And, if you get a taste for it, you can buy a boat at the show and have it on the water that weekend.
“Whether you’re here for the boats, the education, or the food and entertainment, it’s always a ton of fun,” says Annapolis Boat Shows’ president, Mary Ewenson. “And the beautiful new venue means visitors may board even more exciting new powerboats and shop for everything from gear and accessories to electronics, communication equipment, education, clubs, and more.”
Annapolis Boat Shows’ General Manager Sheila Jones is particularly excited about the expanded demo dock. “There’s more room to offer hands-on experiences with the latest boating technologies, as well as added space for entertainment and educational programming,” says Jones. “If you’re a seasoned boater or a first-timer, the show will offer something new for everyone to explore.”
New Amenities at The Bay Bridge Boat Show
- Eight restaurants, four hotels, and a nature park within walking distance

The new venue makes it easier than ever to turn your Bay Bridge Boat Show visit into a fantastic day trip or a relaxing weekend getaway. Visitors will have great options for waterfront dining and accommodations. The Cross Island Trail makes getting around Kent Narrows easy on foot or a bicycle. Parking will be plentiful, with shuttles running between the lot at the Old Outlets off Exit 41 and the show.
