2013 Newport Boat Show Reports Record Attendance

The 2013 Newport Boat Show, held April 18-21 in California at Lido Marina Village, not only set new attendance records this year — up more than 3% from any show in the last decade — but also one offering in particular caught the eyes of many. “Our social media was getting a response,” commented boat show producer Duncan McIntosh.

The number of vessels 70′ and larger was up more than 150%, higher than any show for the last decade. The total number of vessels exhibited in this year’s show was up 22% from the 2012 event, McIntosh said. And this year’s record number of show attendees included many boat buyers.

“Brokerage deals were particularly strong, with many offers being written in the $200,000 to $650,000 range,” McIntosh said in a statement. “We also saw some resurgence in new boat activity: Offers were being written on a number of vessels topping $1 million.”

Accessory, equipment and service displays and booths sold out quickly this year. “Making room for and growing this segment of the show is priority No.1 going forward,” McIntosh said.

A number of charters and boat slips were sold at the show, Janette Hood, operations manager and advertising director for the Duncan McIntosh Co., said in a statement. Accessory and service exhibitors were enthusiastic about their results.

“I had quite a few accessory vendors ask to give deposits on their space for the upcoming September Lido Yacht Expo and our 2014 April Newport Boat Show, as they were very successful with their sales and leads from this show,” Hood said.

Denison Yacht Sales displayed 7 brokerage yachts at the Newport Beach Boat Show including:

  • 68′ Sunseeker Predator
  • 52′ Tiara Sport Yacht
  • 53′ Carver Voyager
  • 53′ Navigator Motoryacht
  • 48′ Cranchi Atlantique
  • 44′ Sea Ray Sundancer
  • 35′ Tiara Sportfish
