KICK OFF THE NEW ENGLAND CHARTER SEASON AT THE 2022 NEWPORT CHARTER YACHT SHOW PRESENTED BY HELLY HANSEN NEWPORT
Newport Charter Show to be held June 20-23, 2022 at Safe Harbor Newport Shipyard
For charter yachts who plan to spend the summer in New England, the Newport Charter Yacht Show is the best way to kick-off the season. Hosted by Safe Harbor Newport Shipyard, in the dynamic and picturesque setting of Newport, Rhode Island, nearly 100 charter brokers attend the show, which will feature sailing and motor vessels from 60 to 200+ feet. Dates for this year’s show are June 20-23 and it is open exclusively to charter yacht brokers, agents, and industry professionals. Registration is now open online at: www.NewportCharterShow.com.
“The Newport Charter Yacht Show is always a great way to start our vibrant yachting scene each summer in New England and here at Safe Harbor Newport Shipyard,” said Eli Dana, general manager of Newport’s premier superyacht facility. “We encourage yacht captains and charter managers to register early for the show to take advantage of 25% savings on registration and dockage which is in effect until February 15.”
“We are especially excited to announce that we will add one of Newport’s most popular charity events, the Newport Yacht Rendezvous, benefitting the Boys & Girls Club of Newport County, into the Charter Show week, on Friday, June 24. More than 400 supporters and donors typically attend this sold-out event each year to enjoy dinner, dancing, and a yacht hop at Newport Shipyard,” Dana concluded. Yachts who participate in the Newport Yacht Rendezvous receive a complimentary night of dockage as a thank you for their support of this very worthy cause.
