Experience the Newport International Boat Show
The Newport International Boat Show (NIBS) is one of the Northeast’s premier boating events, set against the stunning backdrop of a historic New England waterfront. Stretching across acres of scenic waterfront, the show features a network of interconnected sites where you can stroll the docks and explore an impressive array of brand-new sailboats and powerboats — some making their U.S. debut.
Onshore, you’ll discover hundreds of exhibitors offering cutting-edge marine gear, accessories, and services to help you make the most of your time on the water. The show also features hands-on boating courses, expert-led seminars, and exclusive VIP experiences to deepen your connection to the boating lifestyle.
Held each fall, the show is the perfect chance to pair your passion for boats with everything the host city has to offer — scenic harbors, historic charm, boutique shopping, and world-class dining.
