yacht industry in Rhode Island and throughout New

objective is to support the increasingly complex
and demanding role of the captain and crew. BWA
Yachting is there from start to finish, from planning
to implementation of every aspect of the trip.
Newport, Rhode Island located in the heart of
New England, with its dramatic coastal scenery
is considered the yachting hub of the Northeast
Seaboard. It offers state of the art shipyards, first
class marina facilities, shoreside attractions that
include fine dining, shopping, gilded mansions,
galleries and festivals all within walking distances
from the waterfront. Close to the outlying Islands
of Nantucket, Martha’s Vineyard, and Block Islands
makes it an appealing port of call for crew and
their owners/guests. BWA Yachting is a London
