More boats and exhibitors in 2024 at the Newport International Boat Show

August 30, 2024

One of the largest in-water events in the country and the premier show in New England, the expanded Newport International Boat Show encompasses over 15 acres of Newport’s waterfront with six connecting show sites both on land and in water. It hosts hundreds of exhibitors, dealers, and manufacturers, with new powerboats and sailboats ranging from 15- to 90-feet, plus an extensive selection of marine equipment, services and accessories.

This year there’s even more boats to see as brokerage boats will be on display for the first time at the Show.

With the most boats since 2019, and at least six sailboat debuts, new boats and products will be marked with “Newport For New Products” (NFNP), including over 15 new products and over 15 new powerboat debuts! Also on deck are educational seminars taking place at the Cruiser’s Classroom and 3-hour Tech Talks at IYRS, and daily giveaways.

New for this year, the Show is offering an exclusive experience with the Windward VIP Lounge, a private oasis with views of Narragansett Bay that includes a premium open bar, gourmet food served all day, private restrooms and a place to relax.
