Newport Beach International Boat Show Named Best in the U.S. by USA Today

The Newport Beach International Boat Show has been ranked the No. 1 boat show in the country by USA Today’s 2025 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards.

USA Today praised the show for delivering a unique blend of “nautical fun, education, and innovation,” with engaging demos, seminars, and waterfront experiences that transform Newport Harbor into what feels like a European coastal getaway.
