International Superyacht Alliance Brings Industry Together at the Newport Networking Soirée

The International Superyacht Alliance (ISA) was proud to host the Newport Networking Soirée during the Newport Yacht Charter Show, welcoming yachting professionals from across the United States and around the world for an afternoon dedicated to building relationships and creating new business opportunities.

Held at The Quencher Newport, the event provided a relaxed waterfront setting where captains, brokers, yacht managers, suppliers, shipyards, service providers, and industry leaders gathered to reconnect with longtime colleagues, meet new professionals, and discuss the future of the global superyacht industry.

Hosted by Kitty McGowan, President of the International Superyacht Alliance, the soirée reflects ISA’s mission of strengthening relationships between the U.S. marine industry and international markets through meaningful networking and strategic collaboration.

The afternoon was filled with engaging conversations, introductions to new members, and discussions about expanding business opportunities throughout the global superyacht community.

ISA extends its sincere appreciation to Hornblower Marine and Propspeed for their generous sponsorship and support in helping make this event such a success.

A special thank you also goes to Veronica Brown and the outstanding team at Safe Harbor Newport Shipyard for organizing another exceptional Newport Yacht Charter Show and creating an environment where the industry can come together to collaborate and grow.

As ISA continues to expand its international presence, events like the Newport Networking Soirée demonstrate the power of bringing people together and creating opportunities that extend well beyond the event itself.
