Upcoming Event - Annapolis Sailboat Show 2026

America's Premier Sailing Event

The Annapolis Sailboat Show is the largest and most prestigious sailing event on the East Coast. It attracts sailors from across North America and beyond—serious cruisers, racers, and dreamers who gather to celebrate the joy of sailing.

East Coast Sailing Heritage

Annapolis is America's sailing capital, home to the Naval Academy and a centuries-long tradition of maritime excellence. The Chesapeake Bay, coastal passages to Florida, and Caribbean cruising define East Coast sailing. Excess catamarans are increasingly the choice for East Coast sailors undertaking major passages and extended cruising voyages.

Performance for Atlantic Waters

The Atlantic demands capable boats. Excess catamarans deliver seaways characteristics perfectly suited to coastal passages, island hopping, and open-ocean sailing. The efficient design translates to comfortable motion in Atlantic swells, responsive sailing in variable conditions, and the reliability you need for serious voyaging.

Meet the Team

Sail Pacific and Excess representatives will be on hand to discuss what ownership entails, introduction schedules, and customization possibilities. The Annapolis crowd includes experienced sailors who understand catamaran advantages—space, stability, efficiency, and shallow draft for exploring protected waters.

Chesapeake Bay Connection

Many Excess owners cruise the Chesapeake Bay seasonally, exploring its 200 miles of coastline and countless anchorages. The shallow-draft performance of Excess catamarans opens cruising grounds inaccessible to traditional monohulls.
