Coming soon from Newport Yacht Builders is Hull No. 3 of the Mussel Ridge 46. This custom model is designed for high-performance sportfishing and comfortable family cruising. It’s slated for completion at the builder’s Newport, Rhode Island, production facility in April 2026.
This new boat is the company’s third to utilize a Mussel Ridge hull. As with the previous boats, the Mussel Ridge hull and deck of this 46-footer were molded at Hutchinson Composites in Cushing, Maine, and are now in Newport for installation of all structural components, systems, fit and finish. The finished boat will be available next spring. To learn more about the 46, see our story on Hull No. 2 (“Worth the Wait“), which was built for an avid tuna fishermen who always dreamed of a boat like this one.
