Newport Boat Show: West Coast premier for yachts, powerboats and more

NEWPORT BEACH ― Newport Boat Show returns to Newport Beach for a 44th year, showcasing big boats and bringing boating enthusiasts to the newly renovated Lido Marina Village. The show kicks of April 27 and runs through April 30.

More than 200 boats of varying sizes will be floating over to dock for four days on the Newport Beach waterfront. Come see the latest and greatest boats featured at this in-water-display.

Numerous vessels will be making their debut. The new Monte Carol Yachts MCY 70 will be featured as well as outboard powerboats by 50 North Yachts. Alexander Marine will be showcasing Tiaras and other cruising yachts. Shop for new as well as previously owned boats including catamarans and Duffy boats.

In addition to the pleasure boats, the venue provides attendees with an opportunity to stroll around and enjoy the day. Lido Marina Village, like a caterpillar emerging from its cocoon, has gone through quite a transformation, featuring new amenities such as a waterfront restaurant for wine lovers and diners as well as boutiques for fashionable shoppers. There are couches, benches and chairs scattered throughout the village to sit down, relax and take in the views. Small children can enjoy playing with small wooden boats in the fountain.

There will be free parking offsite with shuttle and a courtesy guest dock for vessels up to 22 feet.

The official sponsor for the Newport Boat Show is Duncan McIntosh Co. Inc., publisher of Sea Magazine, Boating World, The Log and Editor & Publisher.
