A Taste of Newport
Chefs from 11 of the 27 participating yachts
at this year’s Newport Charter Yacht Show
went head-to-head June 18–21 in the Culinary Competition. The four-day show, now in
its 30th year, entered a new era in 2012 when
Newport Exhibition Group took the helm to
both produce and manage it at its Newport
Yachting Center in downtown Newport. The
Grande Class winner was Chef Eddj from
the 145-foot motor vessel Lady M, and the
Premier Class winner was Chef Megan from
the 70-foot sail vessel Destiny.
