YBAA/IYBA Broker Open House, Newport, Rhode Island
by Jonathan Chapman, CPYB – Northrop and Johnson, YBAA Board Member
This summer YBAA, in conjunction with Northrop and Johnson, organized a July and August “Broker Open House” at Sail Newport/Fort Adam’s State Park. This proved to be an excellent venue for YBAA and IYBA members to showcase listings that were in the area. The event was geared exclusively to the brokerage/dealership community, and mimicked similar IYBA events that have been taking place in Fort Lauderdale, FL for many years referred as the “3rd Thursday Brokers Show”. With no advertising or promotion done to the general public, this was an affordable opportunity for those in the industry to present their listings and network with fellow yacht sales professionals with the cost to display being only $125/boat for YBAA and IYBA Members or $150/boat for Non-Members, regardless of size. This year’s July event featured 13 vessels ranging in size from 36 feet to 102 feet. We will continue these events next summer on the 3rd Thursday of June, July & August with the possibility of one in May if interest is high.
