British builder Fairline Yachts has partnered with MRN Yacht Sales for representation in northern California. The dealership will operate as Fairline San Francisco.
Rob Newman founded MRN Yacht Sales in 2023. He started in yacht sales in Weymouth, U.K., before relocating to the United States.
“Even though I’ve worked for various dealerships throughout my career, my admiration for Fairline as a brand and the yachts’ grace and refinement has been there ever since I would watch the signature style of the Squadrons and Targas gliding through the U.K. waters,” Newman said in a statement. “It’s evident that with its current offering and yet more developments in the pipeline that there’s exciting times ahead for the brand and its customers.”
The partnership is to be announced at the Newport Beach International Boat Show, which runs April 18-21.
“We are delighted to welcome Rob and the MRN Yacht Sales team to the Fairline family,” said Steve Leeson, of Fairline Americas. “Rob’s passion for the brand is obvious, and we are confident his commitment to delivering exceptional customer experience mirrors that of our own.”
