In October, sailors from around the globe will gather on miles of docks in beautiful downtown historic Annapolis to celebrate the United States Sailboat Show. This internationally acclaimed sailboat show is recognized as the world’s largest and most prestigious show of its kind.
Boat show goers will enjoy the unique opportunity to board and inspect new models from virtually every major sailboat manufacturer, make side-by-side comparisons, talk to industry representatives, and see the latest in boating products and services. Come enjoy a weekend full of boats, exhibits, shopping, drink tastings, and education.
This is the show everyone has been looking forward to. The largest in-water display of sailing yachts anywhere in the world! The DWY Team will be showcasing the new Hylas H57, Italia 13.98, and the Italia 9.98. Private showings and demonstration sails are available. DWY customers and clients request your complimentary tickets!
In addition to the boats on display, we have three exciting events all happening the weekend of the United States Sailboat Show. Check out the links below for specific details or contact your David Walters Yachts broker for more information!
Designed by Bill Dixon of Dixon Yacht Design, the Hylas H57 is the newest member of the Hylas Yachts Sailing fleet. It has several desirable features including the carbon-reinforced arch, Solent rig, and german sheeting system. The H57 can be upgraded and customized in just about every way possible - from an optional hydraulic swim platform to solar arrays and a state-of-the-art lithium-ion battery system.
For the ultimate experience, register for an exclusive VIP Hylas Club Class Tour of the New Hylas H57. Invited guests will enjoy an in-depth tour of the yacht complete with complimentary wine and champagne followed by a meet and greet with the family behind Hylas Yachts and a one-on-one consultation with our experienced new build specialists. Exclusively for those seeking to take their ambitions of yacht ownership to the next level, we welcome you to join us after the show for a private demonstration sail.
Invited guests will also receive complimentary boat show tickets and an exclusive invitation to the David Walters Yachts Customer Party happening Saturday evening after the show!

The styling is the synthesis of elegance, luxury, and modern design. The distinctly Italian influences are evident in the bold, attractive lines, precise attention to detail, and the utilization of the finest materials. Geared for performance, the Italia 13.98 is the result of the most modern computational fluid dynamic design available today.
The Italia 9.98 was developed to deliver the characteristics demanded explicitly by professional racers and clients with a desire for performance. Even with such emphasis, every Italia 9.98 can be customized and tailed to the individual's unique specifications with a variety of equipment options and configurations available.
