N&J at the 2025 Newport Beach International Boat Show

Newport Harbor in beautiful Newport Beach, California, was brimming with boats and yachts from May 1 to 4, 2025, during the annual Newport Beach International Boat Show. One of the US West Coast’s biggest and busiest boating events, Northrop & Johnson was proud to welcome clients to our display, which was bigger than ever before with 10 yachts in the show, including the largest yacht on display, the 191-foot (58m) superyacht UNBRIDLED, available for sale and charter. Other yachts in the lineup included the 130-foot (39.62m) motor yacht SERENGETI, available for sale and charter, the 63-foot (19.2m) Baia yacht PARVINA for sale, the 58-foot (17.68m) Viking FAN TAIL II for sale, the 53-foot (16.15m) Tiara SUSITNA for sale, the 51-foot (15.5m) Mochi Craft TRUE STORY for sale, the 45-foot (13.7m) Sea Ray KA-BAR for sale, the 39-foot (11.89) Jeanneau NAUTI BRIGI GULL for sale, the 38-foot (11.58m) True North RAMBLER for sale and the 32-foot (10m) Sea Ray GOLDEN HOUR, which sold during this year’s show.

In addition to welcoming clients to visit N&J on the docks to inspect our incredible line-up, N&J also hosted two sunset happy hours aboard UNBRIDLED for guests to enjoy. The first night had guests dancing away to the sounds of live music while enjoying the welcome Champagne and caviar courtesy of Falcon, the NetJets martini bar and oyster shucker, a live risotto chef thanks to Pelican Hill, customized luggage tags thanks to Exclusive Resorts, a Macallan tasting and cocktails, and delicious bites created by the chef of UNBRIDLED.

The second evening saw much of the same as guests dogged raindrops to go aboard the yacht and enjoy the hospitality of the incredible crew and N&J’s generous partners and sponsors.

Luckily, the weather cleared out by midday Sunday, when a birthday celebration aboard UNBRIDLED was the perfect ending to an incredible show. As the horns blew at 5 pm on Sunday, May 4, N&J wrapped up another successful boat show. If you joined us, we were thrilled to see you. If not, we hope to see you on the docks at another event this year.
