Newport, Rhode Island, USA (June 14, 2016) – No luxury charter yacht is complete without a five-star professional crew by its side, and the Newport Charter Yacht Show presented by Helly Hansen will play to this point with its Crew Competitions at Newport Shipyard next week. Throughout the four-day event (June 21-24) show attendees are invited to watch as crewmembers onboard participating yachts put their culinary and hospitality skills to the test in a series of contests.

On Tuesday, June 21st, yacht chefs will compete whisk-to-whisk for the title of Best Charter Yacht Chef. Participants will be given a mystery basket of ingredients and charged with the task of creating four servings of an entrée that fit a specific diet request. A panel of culinary professionals will determine the winner. The competition is open to chefs onboard all participating yachts.
On Wednesday, June 22nd, crewmembers can compete either solo or with a team in the Tablescaping and Healthy Beverage Challenges. For the Tablescaping Challenge, the interior crew will put their design skills to the test by decorating their respective yacht’s dining table (interior or exterior) using the linen, china, tableware and other decorative items already onboard. A panel of design professionals will judge the final product. Meanwhile, a battle for the Healthy Beverage Challenge will call for participants to create a juice or smoothie that will be rated based on its taste and nutritional value.
