About the Newport Charter Yacht Show:
June 23-26, 2025

AT SAFE HARBOR NEWPORT SHIPYARD - NEWPORT, RHODE ISLAND

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 owned and produced by Safe Harbor Newport Shipyard.

FEATURES & ELEMENTS

The core focus of this event pivots around a world-class display of luxury yachts (70’ – 200’+) available for charter as well as the services and amenities available to support yachts and their crew. While vessels on display represent primarily the charter yacht industry, we also believe that the mix of on-land exhibitors offers value for the captains and crew, and enhances the experience for the potential charter guest. Only exhibitors who fit within the positioning of the event and whose products and services complement the charter yacht lifestyle are invited to exhibit.

Potential categories on display at the show’s upland area may include:

Superyacht Industry
Builders, Shipyards, Brokerage, 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

CAPTAINS & CREW

Superyacht captains are influential in determining all aspects of yacht operations, destination cruising and vessel management. Therefore, a captain & crew component of the event will include educational seminars and competitions geared specifically towards the workforce of these large vessels.

FORUMS & SEMINARS

Industry experts will address topics specific to the charter yacht industry, including new products and technologies, changes in maritime law, charter-friendly resorts and enchanting destinations.

SUPPORTING EVENTS & VENUES

Beyond the core focus of the charter yachts, participants will have access to local amenities such as fine dining, lodging, entertainment and a host of support services all within walking distance of Safe Harbor Newport Shipyard.

THE CITY BY THE SEA

Newport is famously referred to as “America’s First Resort” and “The Yachting Capital of the World.” With a large, sheltered harbor within Narragansett Bay, Newport offers easy access to the Cape and Islands and is one of the primary destinations for cruising, racing and chartering during the summer months. Situated directly between New York City and Boston, Newport draws visitors from one of the wealthiest population corridors in the world.

SAFE HARBOR NEWPORT SHIPYARD

As a yachting destination, Newport is hard to beat. The beautiful harbor, lively regatta circuit, charming town life and central location ensure that "America's sailing capital" lives up to its billing every summer.
