Phipps, president of the Kent Island Yacht Club, says that the idea came to them during the Covid-19 pandemic.

They say that the event attracts people from all over the country and keeps gaining more traction every year.

You can expect to see new Ferraris, Rolls-Royces, Bentleys, Aston Martins, Mustangs, Beetles, and more.
