UCS Boaters Boat Show / Sept 5 - Sept 7
2025-09-05 08:00 - 2025-09-07 17:00 (America/New_York)
UCS Boaters Boat Show
Sept 5 – Sept 7
Cruise to the beautiful Lighthouse Point 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.

Full Moon Scavenger Hunt Cruise Oct 18 - Oct 19
2025-10-18 08:00 - 2025-10-19 17:00
We will sail to Swan Creek and throughout the day there will be a scavenger hunt with BIG, BIG prizes for the first, second and third place winners. You can get a slip at Swan Creek Marina, pick up a mooring ball there or anchor in the creek. We will meet at the picnic area in the marina at 4:00PM for Happy Hour. Bring your own drink and an appetizer to share. Don’t forget to bring your scavenger hunt results along with your proof. More information and rules below.
We will ooh and aah at the full moon later that night, as no one really wants to sail around crab pots in the near dark.
Each boat will be provided with a list of items that can typically be found in marinas or out on the water. Each item will have points associated with it. Proof that you found an item must in the form of an image on your phone/camera.
Since we are not all at the same marina the list will be provided by email a day or two before so you can print it out and check off items as you find and photograph them. All images must be taken on the day of the event.
During Happy Hour you will be randomly paired with another boat to check and tally each other’s results.
The Scavenger Hunt will begin on October 18 at 8:00AM and end with Happy Hour at 4:00PM. All photos must be taken within that time frame.
May the best eagle eyes win.
