Newport Member Social – Thank You to Our Sponsors!
ABBRA extends a heartfelt thank you to Bristol Marine, Starkweather & Shepley, Great American Insurance Group and Bluewater Supply for sponsoring our recent Member Social in Newport, RI, held ahead of the Newport International Boat Show.
It was a beautiful evening bringing together boatyard owners, managers, and marine industry professionals for conversation, connection, and community. Events like these give ABBRA members and guests a chance to share experiences, discuss challenges, and strengthen relationships across the industry.
“We are deeply appreciative of the support from our sponsors, who made this gathering possible,” said Chad Morse, ABBRA Board President. “Events like these strengthen our community and highlight the collaboration that drives the success of the marine industry.”
Look out for updates on our next Member Social—coming soon!
