UCS Boaters Boat Show / Sept 11 – Sept 13

September 11 @ 8:00 am - September 13 @ 5:00 pm

Cruise to the Anchorage Marina, on the Patapsco, in the heart of Baltimore.  Participate in the Show & Tell Boat Show. See many great boats and some really spectacular boat projects, complete and in progress.

The Boaters Boat Show is not your typical showroom floor packed with gleaming, untouched vessels waiting for a buyer—it’s something far more authentic, more soulful. This is a show dedicated to the heart and soul of cruising classics—boats with stories, with character, with salt in their wood and wisdom in their wakes. These are boats that have been lived in, loved, and customized by their owners over years of adventure.
Here, it’s not about price tags or spec sheets. It’s about conversation. It’s about pulling up alongside a seasoned captain and asking, “What made you fall in love with this boat?” It’s about hearing what they’ve added, modified, reinforced, or simply endured—because that’s what cruising is really about. You’ll find everything from clever DIY upgrades to finely tuned systems that reflect thousands of miles of experience.
This show celebrates the bond between boater and boat. The quirks, the triumphs, the annoyances, the “I wish I knew that before” moments. Whether it’s a classic trawler, a salty ketch, or a battle-hardened liveaboard, every boat here is a piece of living maritime history—and every owner is a chapter in that story.
Come for the boats. Stay for the stories. This is the Boaters Boat Show: where passion floats.

Anchorage Marina will host us this year!

Look on the events page of the UCS group for the RSVP. I’m only posting it here to reach as many of us as possible.

Call the Marina directly for slips. They will be giving us a better rate than Dockwa.

The marina is on the promenade on the waterfront, with the waterfront and Pusser’s both an easy walk away. The boaters’ boat show will be on Saturday during the day, and there is a band playing at the marina Saturday evening.

If anyone feels like bringing some instruments, we can have a jam session, too. We will break the boats into groups for visitation. We will do that as we get closer and we get a sense of how many will be in attendance.

This will be awesome!!
