Newport International Boat Show

The Newport International Boat Show takes place across multiple waterfront sites in historic downtown Newport, including Newport Yachting Center, Bannister's Wharf, Bowen's Wharf, Perry Mill Wharf and Hammetts Hotel. Exhibitors display a wide range of new powerboats and sailboats from domestic and international builders, along with marine electronics, gear, apparel and accessories. The show draws both boating professionals and the general public, who can board and compare models on the water and along the docks. Held annually each September, it is organized by Informa Markets and ranks among the longer-running boat shows on the US East Coast.
