"Bitter End Yacht Club is thrilled to return for the second consecutive year as a sponsor of the Newport International Boat Show," said Kerri Quinn Jaffe, chief marketing officer, Bitter End Yacht Club. "Having participated as an exhibitor for over thirty years, we elevated our involvement in the show in 2018 as we launched Bitter End Provisions, our new line of seaworthy goods and gear designed for watersports enthusiasts. The Show provides us a platform to introduce new products to market and to connect with our community as we rebuild the resort following Hurricane Irma. The Bitter End crew looks forward to connecting with our industry partners and guests from near and far and to bringing back Bitter End better than ever before."

"We are also thrilled to welcome back Chubb," continued Alofsin. "They will be working with their agents to offer insurance solutions to attendees on the spot, streamlining purchases at the Show."

The Newport International Boat Show will take place September 12-15, 2019 on the Newport Waterfront along America's Cup Avenue in Newport, Rhode Island. One of the largest in-water shows in the country that kicks-off the boat show season, the event will host exhibitors from around the world with an exceptional assortment of boats of every type and style, plus a variety of accessories, equipment, electronics, gear and services for boaters.
