Yachts, Cars, Sun & Fun: The Newport Beach Boat Show!

April 17, 2025

Whether you're looking for a boat, or just looking for a fun day by the water, you won't want to miss the 2025 Newport Beach International Boat Show!  A long-standing tradition on and by the water, this show has much more to explore than just boats!

Incorporating live entertainment, and beautiful yachts from top builders and brokerages, the event offers attendees a one-of-a-kind experience that captures the essence of Newport Beach's waterfront lifestyle.
With both on-land and on-water areas to explore, the boat show will immerse your senses as you walk the floating docks, relax in the sponsored lounges, dine by the water, and shop the trendy boutiques of Lido Marina Village.

If you know a bit about yachting, but could use a little help navigating around all the boats at the show, I can recommend a good friend and knowledgeable yacht broker, Mark Andries, with Euro Yachts. He'll be at the boat show and can also be contacted through his website,  EuroYachtsInternational.com. One of my favorite boats to cruise around the harbor, down to Emerald Cove, up to the Pacific Airshow or over to Catalina for the weekend, is the True North. You'll be able to see one at the boat show this year, so make sure you check it out! Whoever purchases this one will be getting a real gem, complete with a ton of customizations installed by another great friend and marine electronics pro, Scott Brackney. If you need anything custom-crafted onboard, from instrument dashboards to drop-down TVs; stereo systems to Starlink installation, you can reach Scott at: scott@hi-speed.com.  

If you don't know the first thing about boats or boating, you'll still have a great time looking at more than 200 different boats from recreational watercraft, to sailboats, to large luxury yachts while sipping on a refreshing cocktail, enjoying the waterside dining options or simply enjoying the sun and live entertainment waterside.
