Newport, Rhode Island is set to unveil a new event next year. The popular destination for many superyacht owners will be hosting an event that is designed to draw and tempt the large luxury yacht owner to the area. The event will run under the name Newport Yacht & Lifestyle Collection. It is organised by the Newport Harbour Corporation and it is scheduled for the 16th – 19th June 2011.

The concept of the event involves the exposure of products, such as fine art, automobiles, jewellery, private aircrafts on show as well as suitable activities and programs and entertainment for the visitors. Recognising the need for industry input, last month, leading builders, brokers, charter firms and marketers from the international superyacht industry met at the Newport Harbour corporation’s Relais & Châteaux property, Castle Hill Inn & Resort, for two days of meetings designed to define the details of the new event.

With wide choice of desirable cruising destinations in the area, with the private Quonset airfield and Newport helipad, as well as Providence’s TF Green Airport, the event should be easily accessible for all the visitors, such as luxury yacht owners, their guests and captains. There will be number of services to pamper the guests at this event, including hospitality booths, water taxis and concierge services  and so on.

Exhibitors will include yacht companies, destination marketers, luxury lifestyle companies and products. Programs will include design and build forums, the ins and outs of chartering, technology round tables, chef and wine tastings, parties and more.
