Newport Charter Yacht Show

Launching with its inaugural edition in 1982, and then operating under new management with the Newport Exhibition Group in 2012, the Newport Charter Yacht Show has become a fundamental element to the North America yacht charter market.

With close proximity to many popular USA destinations like New York and Maine, this yacht event is ideally situated for inspiring New England yacht charters.

What to expect at the Newport Charter Yacht Show

Taking place at the Safe Harbor Newport Shipyard, the Newport Charter Yacht Show is an event designed to advocate the best luxury yacht charters for USA yacht charters, allowing brokers and industry professionals to explore the attending yacht rentals and gain first-hand experience of what the individual motor yachts have to offer prospective clients.

Around the pontoons, visitors can expect exclusive tours of the superyacht charters, accompanied by relative crews and captains who can offer additional insider information about the yachts and their amenities.

As well as the enticing array of crewed yacht charters in attendance, the Newport Charter Yacht Show offers more with a full program of seminars surrounding innovative new products and technologies, changes and adjustments in maritime law, introductions to charter-friendly resorts, and highlighting invigorating attractions within the area's popular yacht charter destinations.

Newport Charter Yacht Show crew competitions

Making captains and crew as much a part of the event as the yacht rentals themselves, there are four crew competitions during the Newport Charter Yacht Show, allowing all crew members to test their skills and earn bragging rights for their team and relative charter yacht.

The competitions featured at the event are:

• Chef Competition - a mystery basket challenge to create three different hors d’oeuvres including a grazing platter
• Captain and Deck Challenge - featuring three fun challenges for a friendly competition
• Tablescaping Competition - open to interior crew members, using only materials found on the relative superyacht
• Signature Cocktail Competition - open to all participating crew members, using a designated spirit plus mixers and secret ingredients from charter yacht pantries.
