The Newport International Boat Show (NIBS) is a premier event that showcases an impressive array of sailboats and powerboats, including many that are making their U.S. debuts. Held over four days from 12-15 September, 2024, in historic downtown Newport, Rhode Island, the show spans fifteen acres and features six interconnected show sites.

Visitors can explore a wide range of marine products, services, and accessories designed to elevate your boating experience. In addition to boat displays, the event offers educational seminars, in-water boating courses and daily giveaways.

The boat show’s timing in September allows guests to enjoy Newport’s stunning coastal scenery, historic sites, trendy boutiques, and world-class dining. It’s an ideal opportunity to combine a passion for boating with a memorable New England fall experience.
