Newport Boat Show returns for its 44th year, April 27-30

NEWPORT BEACHThe 44th annual Newport Boat Show — the event presenting the largest collection of big yachts west of the Mississippi — will return to Lido Marina Village in Newport Beach, April 27-30.

The Newport Boat Show is California’s premier big boat and yacht show, presenting more boats in the water than any other event in the West. Attendees at the 2017 show will be able to step aboard and compare the unique features of more than 200 pleasure boats — including brand-new models as well as ocean-tested brokerage yachts that come pre-loaded with sought-after amenities. Coastal and long-distance cruisers, dayboats, center consoles, sportfishers, catamarans, pilothouses and other styles will also be on display.

This year’s show returns to Lido Marina Village after a two-year makeover of the waterfront dining and shopping destination. Lido Marina Village features a wide range of boutiques, eateries and lifestyle shops.

A boater’s lounge will be available to show-goers throughout the show. Visit the Dock Lounge, located on B Dock, anytime during the show for drinks or food. Lighthouse Bayview Café is the restaurant for the lounge.

The show itself is a four-day boater’s paradise. All types of new and used boats will be on display, including trawlers, cruisers, sportfishers, sailboats, catamarans and motoryachts. Shoreside booths will present show-goers with the latest in accessories and gadgets.

With no limits on vessel size, this is one show serious boat buyers won’t want to miss.

The 2017 Newport Boat Show – taking place at 3432 Via Lido in Newport Beach – will feature the newest vessels to reach the Western U.S.
