The Newport International Boat Show is gearing up for its 54th year, with tickets now available for the September 11-14, 2025, event. Held at the Newport Yachting Center Marina in downtown Newport this year’s show is set to be bigger and better than ever.
New to the lineup are Tech Talks, offered in partnership with IYRS. These 3-hour courses cover practical topics like gel coat repair, electronically controlled diesel engines, and lithium batteries.
“From expanded areas both on land and in-water, along with additional classroom education and hands-on programming, this year’s Show truly promises to be the best one yet,” said Jocelyn Emory, Director of Strategy for the Newport International Boat Show. “Our Show offers the best opportunity to see the newest and most innovative boats and marine products from across the industry. And we’re thrilled to once again offer the ultimate experience to take it all in through the Windward VIP Lounge. This is one boat show that we’re confident you simply cannot miss.”
For those looking for a premium experience, the Windward VIP Lounge is back. VIP tickets are $225 if purchased by August 1, and $275 after that date.
General admission is $32 for a one-day pass (Friday through Sunday), with a two-day option available at $54. If you want to beat the crowds, Opening Preview Day tickets for Thursday, September 11, are $42.
Spanning over 17 acres of Newport’s waterfront, the show features hundreds of exhibitors showcasing a wide range of powerboats and sailboats from 15 to 90 feet, as well as marine equipment and accessories.
The show runs from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Thursday through Saturday, and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday.
