I’ve just finished my first day of interviews on the docks at the Newport Charter Yacht Show, where once again I appear to be the only journalist covering the show for the general public. That’s good news for all you readers of CharterWave, as you will continue to receive exclusive information about boats, brokers, and crew that you can’t find anywhere else!

The big news story from this show, I think, is that most of the boats here are on the smaller side for crewed yachts–say 50 to 80 feet long, power and sail alike. There are a heck of a lot of good deals for anyone wanting to try charter without breaking the bank, boats that, for instance, have base rates as low as $12,000 or $15,000 a week that two or three couples can split.

I’ve not yet had a chance to get a consensus from the reputable charter brokers here on which yachts are the belles of the show (and I have a good number of yachts still to take a look at myself), but I will have that information for you tomorrow afternoon, right here on your trusted CharterWave crewed yacht blog.

Stay tuned.
