Come See Us at the Newport International Boat Show September 12-15, 2013!

The Newport International Boat Show is Rhode Island’s premiere event for boaters and enthusiasts alike. This year’s show is the 43rd annual installment, and is packed with 4 days of hands on boating events, classes, and merchandise from the hottest retailers in boating and outdoor sports today. Lasting from Thursday September 12, 2013 to Sunday September 15th, there is something for the entire family to enjoy. The Newport International Boat Show will donate a portion of Sunday’s proceeds to Sailing Heals, an initiative that helps to provide medical patients with the joy of a boat ride. 

Our team of local stores Newport Sunglass Shop and Sol Optics Newport have had a presence at the Newport International Boat Show for the last 15 years. We take pride in having two locations in Newport, and look forward to the Newport International Boat Show every year. We welcome the opportunity to connect with attendees and our fellow vendors. Stop by the Maui Jim booth and come say hello to us! We’ll have a great variety of sunglasses to showcase! If you purchase a pair of Maui Jim's from us while at the show, we will reimburse you your entrance fee!
