The Newport International Boat Show is one of the largest and most prestigious boat shows in the country, spanning over 15 acres with six connecting show sites along historic downtown Newport, Rhode Island. Visitors will be able to walk the docks, view new sailboats and powerboats, and find hundreds of marine products, services, and accessories for boaters.
As the kickoff to the boat show season, many exhibitors launch new models for the first time in the U.S. at the Show. This year, there will be over 45 new marine product and boat debuts, both in power and sail.
