A Recap of the 2026 Newport International Boat Show
Alex Avalos, Operations Manager
Director of Yacht Operations, Jeremy Davis, and myself, Operations Manager Alex Avalos, represented WRI at our usual booth location in Tent A this past show from the 17th-20th. Beautiful weather with sunny skies and comfortable temps prevailed for much of the show until the final day, which allowed for a smooth and fulfilling show this year. We were happy to connect with some current clients during the show, while also meeting many new excited boaters who expressed high levels of interest in our services.
These interactions included new and experienced sailors, power boaters, charter and race/regatta participants, as well as insurance companies. With a variety of intentions covering many different areas of the world, whether coastal hopping or long trans-ocean crossings, we feel confident in being able to assist these voyages as they approach and create new relationships along the way. We also look forward to attending NIBS next year!
If you missed us at NIBS this year, please see the article above for further information on WRI's attendance at the Annapolis Sailboat Show soon from October 15th-18th, and keep an eye out for further info coming as WRI attends the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show from October 28th-November 01st as well.
