Prepare to drop anchor and experience the Newport Beach International Boat Show at Lido Marina April 16-19.
Guests will be able to explore more than 200 vessels and a variety of on-land exhibitions, activations and entertainment.
As in previous years, temporary docks will be placed in Newport Harbor at Lido Marina. They will be filled with everything from recreational watercraft to large luxury yachts.
The Boat Show experience will be enhanced by the opportunity to shop at the trendy Lido Marina Village boutiques and savor the culinary creations of the local restaurants such as Nobu, Fable & Spirit and Lido Bottle Works.
The Newport Beach International Boat Show takes place at 3434 Via Oporto. April 16 is a pre-show VIP day with hours from 2 to 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday hours are 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sunday hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Ticket prices vary depending on day and type of admission.
More than 5,000 boat lovers are expected each day, so parking will be at a premium. Paid parking ($15) is available Thursday and Friday at 361 Hospital Road, and Saturday and Sunday at Hoag Health Center, 538 Superior Ave. A shuttle runs to and from Lido Marina Village every 20 minutes.
