Wide range of charter yachts on display at upcoming Charter Yacht Show in Newport

13th June 2017

Held from the 19^th to the 23^rd of June 2017 at the Newport Shipyard in Newport, Rhode Island, the upcoming Newport Charter Yacht Show is a dedicated charter event, geared towards brokers, agents, owners and captains in the charter industry. Known as ‘America’s Sailing Capital’, Newport is the natural choice of location for this busy event, which has built a reputation as a key event in the annual yachting calendar. The picturesque harbour sits in the sheltered Narragansett Bay, and is a popular charter destination and an ideal starting point for exploring the cape and islands of New England. IYC has a long history with Newport, with an office and team based out of the city.

At the 2017 edition of the show an array of world class luxury yachts will be on display, ranging from 70’-200’+ in length, providing a perfect opportunity for both American and international clientele to browse a large range of exciting charter yachts. One of these yachts will be a beautiful recent addition to the IYC charter fleet, 34m (112’) M/Y Frisky Lady. Built by leading American shipyard, Westport Yachts, Frisky Lady is the ultimate in high-quality American design and is ideally suited to exploring the New England waters, where she will be based this summer for charter. Visitors to show will have the opportunity to admire the results of her 2017 refit, with a highlight being her flybridge, complete with Jacuzzi, cocktail bar and barbeque, and an array of water toys including two tenders, Waverunners, SeaBobs, paddleboards, a third lung diving hookah system, and snorkeling and fishing gear.

Complementing the yachts themselves, a variety of on land exhibitors will be at the show representing businesses within the superyacht industry, and a selection of destinations, products and services that enhance the charter experience. Easily accessible from both New York and Boston, a visit to the Newport Charter Yacht Show will give a true taste of the New England charter lifestyle, with unrivalled harbour facilities and hospitality at Newport Shipyard, quality yachts and a beautiful location. For anyone considering a charter in and around these stunning waters the show is a must do, and sure to provide a wealth of information and inspiration.
