Newport, RI Again Host of New England Luxury Yacht Charter Show
NEWPORT YACHT CHARTER SHOW
The seaside community of Newport, RI welcomes yachts. Once again, it plays host to the annual Newport Yacht Charter Show, June 17 – 20, 2013. The show is the unofficial kick-off to the summer New England yacht charter season.
NEWPORT EXHIBITION GROUP
Entering the second year under management of Newport Exhibition Group, the 31st installment took place at the Newport Yachting Center and featured luxury yachts from 80 feet, to superyachts in the 150 to 225 foot range.
About 60 yachts registered.
WHICH YACHTS ATTEND THE SHOW?
Luxury sailing charter vessels joined motoryachts normally based from Sag Harbor to Bar Harbor for the 4-day affair, attended primarily by yacht charter agents from North America. Agents had an opportunity to inspect yachts, interview the crews, and attend educational seminars about cruising in the northeast United States. Social activities included evening yacht hops and a culinary competition among the charter chefs. Yachting displays like the New England and Monaco luxury yacht shows are important for agents to remain aware of all things yachting!
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE NEWPORT SHOW?
After the show, the yachts return to their summer bases. This puts them in position for inquiries for week-long yachting vacations. For instance, a Martha’s Vineyard Yacht Charter, yachting events in Nantucket, Woodshole yachting, and Maine charters.
