Even with a history that spans almost four decades, the annual Newport Charter Yacht Show appears young and vigorous every time it returns to Newport, R.I.’s famed waterfront. The industry event, held Sunday, June 23 through Wednesday, June 26 featured 15 luxury motor and sailing yachts from lengths in the mid 60-foot range, such as the 64’ M/Y Gem (represented by Nicholson Yachts), to greater than 100 feet, including the 168’ M/Y Acta (Edmiston). The yachts participate with the intent of convincing charter brokers they have what it takes to offer onboard guests magnificently bespoke charter vacations.

After more than 35 years of bringing charter brokers together with agents, captains, and crews of luxury yachts available for summer charters in New England, the Newport Charter Yacht Show proved once again that it never fails to make an impressive splash. This year The Bahamas Ministry of Tourism, Investments & Aviation stepped in as the event’s presenting sponsor and along with Safe Harbor Newport Shipyard (the Show’s producer and owner) helped pack a four-day schedule (June 19-22) with plenty of activities both business and social.
