Oriental’s annual In-water Boat Show takes place April 12-14 in the friendly "Sailing Capital of North Carolina" and features dozens of exhibitors from North Carolina, Ohio, and Maryland. In addition to nautical goods and services, dealers and brokers will bring in boats on land and in the slips at Oriental Harbor Marina, many of which are available for in-water sea trials. The Oriental Boat Show also includes a nautical flea market and seminars on the deck at Oriental Marina & Inn. All net proceeds benefit the charitable activities, scholarships, and financial support provided to projects and programs in Pamlico County, North Carolina.
