"Buy the right boat, from someone who'll still take your call after the sale."
It started the way the best businesses do — with a passion, not a plan. Hamid Partow bought his first boat in 1978. Two years on the water taught him the harbor, the builders, and the kind of broker he wished he'd had himself.
In 1980, that passion became Newport Boats — a brokerage on the Newport Beach waterfront built on a simple idea: deal with the owner, get a straight answer, and be treated the same whether you're buying a 40-foot sport boat or a 78-foot yacht.
Over the decades that followed, Newport Boats became an authorized name for some of the most respected builders in the world — Azimut, Sea Ray, Cranchi, Regal, Riva, Meridian and Maxum — pairing factory-level product knowledge with genuinely independent advice.
Today the brokerage stays deliberately boutique. A discreet, responsive, owner-led approach to buying, selling and chartering yachts on the California coast — the same standards Hamid set on day one.
Hamid Partow buys his first boat and falls for life on the water off Newport Beach. The passion that would become a business begins here.
Hamid turns passion into profession, opening a boutique brokerage on the Newport Beach waterfront — owner-led from the very first deal.
Newport Boats earns dealer relationships with premier builders — Azimut, Sea Ray, Cranchi, Regal, Riva, Meridian and Maxum — and a reputation for straight answers.
The firm grows into a full ownership service: financing and insurance, slip and mooring location, crew placement, maintenance, charters and event days.
More than four decades on, Newport Boats stays small on purpose — discreet, responsive, and personally led by Hamid on every deal.
