Organized by Winnie DeCoster of Captains' Concierge, details regarding this year's culinary theme will be posted on the Newport Charter Yacht Show web site soon. Interior crew will also compete in a Designer Water Contest, organized and sponsored by Charter Yacht Brokers Association (CYBA), which was started to help eliminate plastic water bottle waste on yachts. Yacht chefs and stewardesses will be encouraged to create "yacht speciality water" infused with ingredients of their choice. More information can be found on the CYBA Web site.
AYCA Industry Focused Seminars
AYCA's "speed info presentation" seminar format was so popular in 2018, they have decided to use the same format again this year. There will be six roundtables for speakers to rotate from table to table for after the annual AYCA breakfast on Thursday, June 20 in the Main Show Tent. It will be an intimate setting where you will sit at a table of your peers and gather information as presenters bring pertinent industry information to you!
Guest speakers, also hosted and organized by the AYCA, will be featured on June 18 and 19 for one hour during breakfast (8:45am-9:45am) on subjects important for charter professionals and captains.
The AYCA committee is working on securing interesting topics for this year and more information will be posted soon! For more information, contact AYCA PR CHAIR: Carol Kent (vacation@carolkent.com)
