In the heart of Rhode Island’s historic waterfront, the Newport Charter Yacht Show 2025 promises to be an unforgettable experience for industry professionals. This exclusive trade event, now in its 35th year, will take place from June 23 to 26, 2025, at Safe Harbor Newport Shipyard. It serves as the premier showcase for luxury charter yachts (20–60+ metres) and marine services, attracting brokers, captains, and industry professionals.

The show features a range of activities, including the Chef Competition, where crews compete in mystery-ingredient challenges, and the Tablescaping Contest and Captain & Deck Challenge, which foster camaraderie among crews. Educational seminars hosted by the American Yacht Charter Association (AYCA) cover maritime law updates, charter marketing, and emerging industry trends.

Evening events like Crew Night (June 24) and the Crew Party (June 26) offer relaxed opportunities to connect over local cuisine and cocktails.

Open exclusively to industry professionals, the event emphasises hands-on yacht inspections and direct engagement with crews. Brokers can evaluate vessels for New England charters, including popular destinations like Martha’s Vineyard and coastal Maine. Founded in 1982, the show has become a cornerstone of the North American charter calendar, blending Newport’s maritime heritage with cutting-edge industry insights.
