NEWPORT IS THE FIRST PLACE TO SEE WHAT’S NEW! Cruising World, Sailing World and Power Cruising magazines recognize the “Best New Sailboat”, “Best New Powerboat” and “Best New Boating Product” at the Newport International Boat Show.

Multiple waterfront facilities along America's Cup Avenue and Thames Street host the Show including Newport Yachting Center, Oldport Marine and Bannister's Wharf, which are all connected by show docks. Newport’s latest expansion, Bowen's Wharf, will showcase downeast-style boats. Bowen's Wharf is centrally located within other show sites including Newport Harbor Hotel and Marina, which hosts the Passagemaker TrawlerPort Program and also showcases center-console boats on land. All Show sites are "connected" by FREE water taxis.
