Working with an experienced US yacht broker will ensure you expertly navigate and do not fall foul of US law when you purchase a boat. N&J's offices are conveniently located near the Safe Harbor Newport Shipyard, a full-service marina, and shipyard, which has a free trade zone for yacht sales. It is the only FTZ in the US outside of Florida. The FTZ allows foreign-flagged ships to be bought and sold to US citizens. If you want to sell or buy a boat, contact N&J.

12 America's Cups. 3 Ocean Races. Is there any doubt Newport is the US Sailing Capital?

NEWPORT – Google "What is the sailing capital of the U.S." and the answer might surprise those from Newport.

The results page greets searchers with "Annapolis, Maryland" in large text, accompanied by an April 2023 article by Travel + Leisure magazine extolling everything you need to know about the mid-Atlantic coastal town.

It takes a handful of links before a Newport entry makes the case for the title, but what does Google really know?

It’s hard to find somebody in Newport who would contest the city’s title as the sailing capital of America. People locally might give Annapolis an honorable mention out of pure politeness, but ask sailors who have been to both harbors and the consensus is clear.

Daniel Schoenefeldt was born in Germany but fell in love with sailing after moving to New Jersey 10 years ago. The engineer and three of his friends had been planning their sailing expedition from Sandy Hook, New Jersey, to Newport for The Ocean Race stopover since last October, and they made the excursion in Schoenefeldt’s Beneteau First 30 and his friend Tony Montemurro’s Beneteau First 375, arriving in Newport Friday evening. They had to motor through the ripping tides of the East River but got a good stretch of sailing in once they hit the Rhode Island Sound.

“Of course, Newport is the sailing capital of America!” exclaimed Schoenefeldt, who has also sailed his 30-foot boat from New Jersey to Annapolis by way of the Delaware-Chesapeake Canal. “Annapolis is nice, but it feels more centered around the Navy. The Navy is here (in Newport) too, but there are lots of small crafts, everybody is sailing, and there is a huge concentration of industry and public interest in sailing here.”

Of course, it was easy for Newport to lay claim to the title last Sunday. It was a beautiful, sunny day that more than made up for Saturday’s poor conditions, almost a bit lacking in windspeed for the in-port race but prime viewing conditions for sailing diehards and curious tourists alike to watch the fleet of cutting-edge IMOCA 60 racing sailboats kick off leg five of the around-the-world Ocean Race, a transatlantic sprint starting in Newport and finishing 3,500 nautical miles later in Aarhus, Denmark.

This marked the third time Newport has served as the North American stopover point for The Ocean Race. Not to mention that between 1930 and 1983 the America's Cup was held 12 times in Newport.

Beyond the racing events, the National Sailing Hall of Fame moved from Annapolis to Newport, opening in the Armory building on Thames Street in 2022.

'This institution belongs here': A peek inside The Sailing Museum in the heart of Newport

“Newport is the sailing capital of America,” said Newport Mayor Xay Khamsyvoravong, “and with every event we host, like the Ocean Race, our heritage with the sport grows deeper.  When sailors and their teams come to Newport they don’t just find spectators, they find fans.”

In addition to a robust crowd watching from the shoreline of Fort Adams State Park, a fleet of hundreds of civilian craft of all shapes and sizes, under power and under sail, lined the shores of Jamestown and Newport, gently jockeying for position at the edges of the course to watch The Ocean Race teams head north past the Newport Bridge during the in-port race and then south out the East Passage of the Narragansett Bay and out to sea for the start of their dash to Denmark.

“This Ocean Race is unique,” explained Khamsyvoravong, “because thanks to the premier sponsorship of Newport-based 11th Hour Racing, there was a strong focus on the health of our seas. We saw our state and local government take action in the form of resolutions supporting ocean rights and over 5,000 students came to the race village to learn about the sailing and the health of our oceans. Most importantly, we saw our community, led and organized by Sail Newport, come together to support the event and its important message about ocean rights.”

It is true that the presence of 11 th Hour Racing in Newport has only enhanced the City-by-the-Sea’s longstanding legacy as a hub of elite offshore sailing and strengthened Newport’s status as an international destination for sailors and fans of the sport. Through the lens of the international competitive sailing community, Newport is one of the most famous destinations in the entire world.

Though the folks in Annapolis have their own thoughts on the matter.

“While some may view it as a double entendre, our destination will always boast itself as America’s Sailing Capital due to the fact that Annapolis is the preeminent sailing gateway to the Chesapeake Bay and Maryland’s Capital City,” said Kristen Pironis, executive director of Visit Annapolis & Anne Arundel County – the destination marketing organization for the Greater Annapolis region. “But all kidding aside, both Annapolis and Newport, Rhode Island, are two vibrant sailing destinations that visitors from around the globe need to experience for themselves to better understand who the true winner is – and while visiting, help us to settle another score… who really has the best seafood?” she laughed.
