A visit to Newport and The Classic Coast—nine vibrant and historic towns, all sharing some seriously prime New England coastline—is both everything you expect and enjoyably unpredictable. This is a place and a people made of surf and soul, raised by the ocean and built by eccentric and outspoken rebels some 300-plus years ago. If you’re looking for classic Colonial architecture and breathtaking New England landscapes, we’ve got them—trust us. But it’s the feeling you get here—of being switched off yet inspired, engaged yet refreshed. There’s no word for it, but it happens every day on The Classic Coast.

With over 100 years of friendship, the Newport Bermuda connection is rooted in history. From all of us in Newport and beyond, we applaud the thousands of crews who have sailed this race over the decades and celebrate this partnership for years to come. The legacy continues, cheers to the next 100!
