The House · Est. 1980

Three things we have
never outsourced.

Clarity · Responsiveness · Negotiation
No. 01 — Clarity

A broker, not a billboard.

Hamid Partow has bought, sold and run boats out of Newport Harbor since 1978. You get a straight read on the vessel, the market and the price — not a sales pitch.

No. 02 — Responsiveness

One call. One person. Every time.

Boutique by design. The number you call is the man who works your deal — sea-trial timing, survey, escrow and closing all handled personally, often the same day.

No. 03 — Negotiation

Official dealer. Independent advice.

An authorized name for Azimut, Sea Ray, Cranchi, Regal, Riva, Meridian and Maxum — yet free to tell you when the boat you love is the wrong boat.

Currently on the harbor

A few of the boats
we represent.

From a classic 1978 Bertram 43 to a 2022 Cranchi E52 — a discreet, hand-picked roster. Inventory moves quietly; call Hamid for what's available today.

Golden-hour over Newport Harbor Hamid Partow · Founder & Broker of Record · Newport Beach since 1980
The Founder

A passion that became a brokerage.

"Buy the right boat, from someone who'll still take your call after the sale."

Hamid Partow bought his first boat in 1978. Two years later, that passion turned into Newport Boats — and over four decades he has become an authorized name for Azimut, Sea Ray, Cranchi, Regal, Riva, Meridian and Maxum. Today the brokerage stays deliberately boutique: a professional, discreet approach built on clarity, fast answers and hard-nosed negotiation on your behalf.

Beyond the sale

Charters & event days.

Not ready to own — or want to share the day? We arrange private yacht charters out of Newport Harbor, with catering and crew for special events. The same boats we know inside-out, captained for an afternoon on the water.

Under one roof

Finance, insurance & a slip.

Buying is the easy part. We help place marine financing and insurance, locate a slip or mooring, coordinate maintenance and repair, and orient you to your new boat — crew placement included. One relationship for the whole ownership experience.
