Newport Charter Yacht Show Gathering Momentum

The Newport Charter Yacht Show , a charter industry event presented by Helly Hansen Newport , is evolving into an impressive showing of fully crewed luxury charter vessels, both power and sail. Thus far, the Show’s 17 participating yachts range in length from 66 feet (the sailing vessel Gaia, presented by Nicholson Yachts) to 164 feet (the motor vessel TCB , presented by Northrop & Johnson). All will gather for four days of activities scheduled Monday through Thursday, June 20-23, at Newport’s Safe Harbor Newport Shipyard , which owns and produces the show.

Toward that end, the American Yacht Charter Association (AYCA), which is to hold its annual meeting and various seminars during the Show, has teamed with Rhode Island Commerce to present “ Broker’s Experience Newport! ” starting on Monday, June 20. An all-day tour will unveil luxury bespoke tours and singular experiences that can be arranged for charterers. Think America’s Cup yacht charters; private walking/driving tours with a “Gilded Age” touch; a private tour of Cornelius Vanderbilt’s Gilded Age Mansion, The Breakers; an “auto lend” from the Audrain Automobile Museum; and more. Lunch will be served on the grass lawn of the International Tennis Hall of Fame, which offers its own luxury experiences, such as private tennis lessons with a pro on the famous Grass Courts.
