Why Visit the Annapolis Inflatables Booth?

The Annapolis Powerboat Show is the one event where you can board every model in person, talk directly with the Annapolis Inflatables team, and make a fully informed purchase decision before you buy. Here is what makes a visit to our booths worth your time.

1. Every boat at our booths is on display in person.

   You can see the Zodiac Open 5.5, assess the Highfield CL380 FCT, and get up close with the Nomad 310 with EuroHelm, and speak directly with our team about any model on show.

2. Board before you buy.

   Every boat at our booths is in the water. You can step aboard the Zodiac Open 5.5, sit in the Highfield CL380 FCT, and assess the Nomad 310 with EuroHelm in its actual operating environment, not on a trailer or in a showroom. There is no substitute for being on the boat before you commit.

3. Talk to the team.

   The Annapolis Inflatables team will be at both booths throughout the show. Whether you have a specific model in mind or are starting from scratch, our specialists can walk you through the full range, answer technical questions about motor pairing and shaft length, and help you identify the right boat for your use case and budget.

4. See the new products first.

   The Zodiac Yacht Line 4.0 and the Nomad 310 with EuroHelm are making their show debut at Annapolis 2026. The show is the first opportunity to see and board both models before they are widely available.

5. Exclusive show discounts.

   Discounts on Chaps and NeverSoft are available to booth visitors only, not online, not before the show, not after. October 8 to 11 at Land 10 or Land 11/12 is the only window to claim them.
