2025 Newport Charter Yacht Show | Kicking Off the New England Summer Charter Season
For over 35 years, the Newport Charter Yacht Show in Newport, Rhode Island, has marked the unofficial start of the summer charter season in New England. This exclusive four-day event, held from June 23–26, 2025, at Safe Harbor Newport Shipyard, draws charter brokers and industry professionals from around the world to experience the premier charter fleet of the region.
Yachts ranging from 70 to over 200 feet will be on display, representing destinations along the U.S. East Coast from Maine to New York, including iconic islands like Martha’s Vineyard, Nantucket, and Block Island. The show offers a unique opportunity for brokers, charter managers, crew, and service providers to connect, network, and explore the latest in luxury charter experiences and support services.
A highlight of the show is the return of its beloved signature competitions, including the Chef Competition, Tablescaping Challenge, Captain & Deck Challenge, and the Signature Cocktail Competition—fan favorites that bring out creativity and camaraderie among crews.
In addition, the American Yacht Charter Association (AYCA) will once again host a series of educational seminars, offering valuable insights into the ever-evolving charter landscape and addressing topics relevant to captains, crews, and charter professionals.
