THE SPRING YACHT SHOW BALTIMORE HAS BEEN MISSING IS FINALLY HERE!
For years, spring in Baltimore meant one thing for boaters: a long weekend on the docks, surrounded by the finest boats on the water, the skyline glittering across the harbor, and that first real hit of sun on your face. This spring, we are building our own show at our in-water showroom.
Chesapeake Yacht Center is proud to announce the first-ever Chesapeake Spring Yacht Show, May 15-17, 2026 at our in-water showroom located at Lighthouse Point Marina in Canton. Free to attend, open to all, and built for anyone who’s ever stood at the water’s edge and wondered what it would feel like to own that boat.
WHAT TO EXPECT
This is a real, on-the-water boat show — boats in the slips, decks open, and our team on hand to walk you through every inch. No pressure, no tickets, just a rare chance to step aboard some of the finest vessels available on the Atlantic coast and see what life on the water actually looks like.
We’ll have a curated selection of models on display across multiple categories — from sporty day cruisers to serious bluewater cruisers and full flybridge motor yachts. Our featured centerpieces this year are the all-new Prestige M48EVO, a flagship motor yacht that we’ve had the pleasure of shooting video and photos of right here in Baltimore — and trust us, it looks even better in person; and a newly-arrived pair of stunning Princess Yachts (Princess V50 and F50).

DEMO DAY — TAKE ONE OUT ON THE HARBOR
This is the part you can’t get from a brochure or a showroom walkthrough. We’re offering a limited number of on-water demos across the weekend — a private run on the harbor with one of our team members, so you can feel how these boats actually handle.
Demo slots are scheduled at specific times across the weekend and are extremely limited — first come, first served. Each boat goes out once, and once those spots are filled, they’re gone. The show itself is completely free and open to everyone — no registration needed to walk the docks, step aboard, and talk to our team all weekend long. But if you want a demo slot, you’ll need to claim it in advance.

FINAL HOURS ON THE DOCKS — SUNDAY, 3-5 PM
After a full day on the water, stick around for the best part. From 3 to 5 PM on Sunday we’re hosting Final Hours on the Docks — Cars from Lamborghini and McLaren of Washington will be arriving to see in our parking lot adjacent to the marina. The Lamborghini Urus SE will be available for test drives. We will have live music dockside, a selection of refreshments along with our signature cocktail, and lite-fare. Free to attend, no separate ticket needed. RSVP Required.
BOAT SHOW PRICING — 1.99% FINANCING AVAILABLE

WHY COME TO A BOAT SHOW VS. JUST BROWSING ONLINE?
There’s no substitute for stepping aboard. Photos don’t capture the scale of a flybridge deck, or the way a main salon opens up to the water, or the feeling of standing at the helm with the Baltimore skyline behind you. Our show is a low-key, high-quality way to explore your options — whether you’re ready to buy now or just starting to dream.
Our team will be on the docks all three days to answer questions, talk specs, and help you figure out which model might be the right fit for your life on the water.
