Newport is a world-class yachting center. Just about every boat traveling the coast or coming from international ports makes a stop at Newport. Big yachts, sail and power, lay over at one of several major yards, putting in for crew changes, provisioning or refurbishing. Yachts and tourists stop in Newport for the spectacle of the incredible collection of vessels from all over the world and the interesting people who travel on them.

This is possibly the most sophisticated yachting center in the U.S. and maybe the world. Varnish work, fiberglass and wood hull repairs, onboard catering, custom rigging services, new keel designs, maritime history, fine dining and galleries...Newport is where to find it all.
