This show will have the largest in-water display in New England with motor and sailboats ranging from 15-90ft. Some of these vessels will be making their US debut. With over 600 exhibitors, event attendees can browse marine products, accessories, and explore various marine-related services.
NIBS will host in-water boating courses, giveaways each day, and have multiple educational seminars with complementary access. “Cruisers Classroom” will host presentations covering topics like boating, fishing, marine safety, boat maintenance, and more. There will also be hands-on, paid technical courses called “Tech Talks” entitled “5 Things Every Boat Owner Should Know How to Do on Their Diesel Engine” and “Electrical Systems and Troubleshooting.”
A new addition to the Newport International Boat Show will be the Windward VIP Lounge. Tickets to the exclusive lounge include a premium open bar, gourmet food with all day service, private bathrooms, and indoor and outdoor spaces to relax and mingle.
