Safe Harbor Race Weekend 2023

The annual Safe Harbor Race Weekend held in the second week of August, features the only superyacht racing in the US, amidst the bustling cobblestone streets and seaside charm of downtown Newport.

Monohull and multihull vessels (30 feet or greater LOA) are invited to join this sailing regatta for three unforgettable days of shoreside events, revelries, and racing excitement at Safe Harbor locations in Newport, Portsmouth, and Jamestown, Rhode Island. 

With three days of action packed sailing, two evening parties with plenty of delicious food, drinks & entertainment, it is no surprise that 2023 is a bumper year - 66 yachts registered with over 600 sailors descending on Newport.
