Celebrating over 3 dacades in existence, the Newport Charter Yacht Show is a showcase of luxury charter yachts alongside a display of ancillary goods and services for the charter industry. This four-day event is dedicated exclusively to yacht charter professionals; agents, owners, brokers and captains in the dynamic, picturesque setting of Newport, Rhode Island. The Newport Charter Yacht Show is now owned and operated by Newport Harbor Corporation (NHC). NHC also owns the prestigious Newport International Boat Show which takes place annually in September.

FEATURES & ELEMENTS

The core focus of this event will pivot around a world-class display of luxury yachts (50’ – 300’+) available for Charter as well as the services and amenities available to support yachts and their crews. While vessels on display will represent primarily the Charter Yacht industry, we also believe that the mix of on-land exhibitors will add to the ambiance and offer value for the captains, crew and potential Charter guest experience. Only exhibitors who fit within the positioning of the event and whose products and services complement the Charter Yacht lifestyle will be permitted to exhibit.

Potential categories on display at the Newport Yachting Center upland areas may include:

• Superyacht Industry (Builders, Shipyards, Brokerage, Charter, Engines, Electronics, Communications & Accessories)
• Products (Cars, Private Aircraft, Jewelry, Wine, Watches, Art, Clothing)
• Destinations (Private Clubs, Resorts, Real Estate)
• Services (Interior Design, Yacht Management & Wealth Management)
