2020 Newport Charter Yacht Show Postponed
The team at Safe Harbor Newport Shipyard has made the difficult decision to postpone the 2020 Newport Charter Yacht Show presented by Helly Hansen Newport slated for June 22-25. “We are considering holding it concurrently, or just prior to, the Newport International Boat Show and Newport Brokerage Boat Show which is scheduled for September 17-20,” said General Manager Eli Dana. “We will also explore virtual Charter Yacht Show opportunities and educational options in the coming weeks,” added Show Director Veronica Brown.
“Our goals for the Newport Charter Show are to offer yacht owners, brokers and managers the ability to showcase their yachts available for charter in New England and other places in the US, Bahamas and Caribbean to charter yacht brokers from around the US,” Brown said. “We strive to host an event where members of the charter yacht industry, in partnership with the American Yacht Charter Association (AYCA), can convene to meet on industry-specific topics and host educational seminars and opportunities for the greater good of the industry. We provide a stage for sponsors and vendors to advertise and promote their products and offerings, a chance to socialize with industry peers, and perhaps the best charter show in the US. With that said, we did not make the decision to postpone the show lightly. However, the health and safety of all attendees and staff must be our priority.”
“We thank all the Charter Show sponsors and participants for their understanding and all questions should be directed to Veronica Brown: vbrown@shmarinas.com,” Dana concluded.
