Hey East Coasters! Here’s some exciting news that’s been a long time coming — Gig Harbor Boat Works is headed to the East Coast for the Annapolis Sailboat Show this October! We’re bringing out our 17′ Salish Voyager for its Annapolis debut, plus the 12′ Scamp Microcruiser and the 10′ Navigator sailing dinghy.
An Opportunity Too Good To Miss
On the heels of our Salish Voyager’s recent appearance in SAIL Magazine‘s Aug/Sept 2024 issue, the Annapolis show organizers reached out to let us know they want to increase their focus on small craft, and they had a great space to offer us. Though the planning time was short, this was an opportunity we just couldn’t pass up, so we decided to go for it!
We’ve only been to this show once before, way back in 2015. Back then we were a much smaller company with more of a regional presence, so it was our first introduction to sailors on the East Coast. We’re really excited to go back to Annapolis now that we have a growing following back east, and we have so much more to offer than we did then!
If you’ve been watching our videos on YouTube, browsing our website, getting our newsletters, or even just casually researching your next small rowing or sailing boat, this is an opportunity you don’t want to miss! There’s nothing quite like seeing and touching our boats in person to really grasp our high build quality, get a firsthand perspective of the size and interior layout, and talk through the rigging with the boat right in front of you.
Buy a Demo Boat and Get Free Shipping to Annapolis!
Since time is short, we’re aiming to pre-sell the three beautiful and well-equipped floor demo models that we’re transporting east for this show. Click the photos below for full details and pricing!
These boats are ready to sail (and row) and come equipped with everything you need, including oars, covers, and dollies/trailers. You can save $3000 or more on shipping by picking up these boats in Annapolis! Only catch is, you’ve got to let us display them in the show first. 😉 Buy now to help us get these shipped off to Annapolis, and score a great bargain at the same time!

Are you bringing any rowing dinghies to Annapolis
to try out, with the forward facing rowing rigs?
Hi Susan, good question! Our space is really limited at the show, and is on land, so we are only bringing a limited fleet with us for land display. Our forward facing rowing system isn’t going to be coming along this time, unfortunately!
