The Newport Charter Yacht Show always offers a full slate of fun competitions that let crew show off their skills — and the 2025 show looks to be no exception.
The show, which runs from June 23 to 26, will feature a Chef Competition, Captain and Deck Challenge, Tablescaping Competition and Signature Cocktail Competition.
The Chef Competition kicks things off on June 24. It will be in a mystery basket format, with specialty items from Shoreside Support to help the chefs craft an elevated dining experience. Also on the 24th will be the Captain and Deck Challenge, made up of three events. Beer and wine will be served, and other crew are encouraged to come and lend their vocal support.
Crew can compete solo or as a team in the Tablescaping Competition on June 25. Design professionals from Newport Yacht Interiors will pick one winner, and show attendees can also pick a fan favorite.
Competitors in the Cocktail Competition, also June 25, will need to make one mocktail and one cocktail while listing all included ingredients. Entries will be judged for taste and presentation. For more info, visit: newportchartershow.com/crew-competitions.
