Fairline announces new California representative
British luxury motor yacht manufacturer Fairline has announced MRN Yacht Sales as its partner in California, and will operate as Fairline San Francisco.
Founded by Rob Newman in 2023, MRN Yacht Sales based in Marin County, one of the most picturesque boating destinations in the US, will now offer Fairline’s range of yachts to those located in the San Francisco Bay area and the wider west coast.
Newman’s background in motor yacht sales started in Weymouth, UK, before he relocated to the US, making his way to the Bay area over a decade ago.
Newman says: “Even though I’ve worked for varioius 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 UK waters. The enthusiasm of the Fairline team is infectious and 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.
“Fairline’s wide range perfectly suits the diverse climates and cruising grounds of California with the advanced docking technology and impeccable sea-handling capabilities catering to yachting enthusiasts of all skill levels.
“Our wealth of experience in delivering and supporting luxury yachts ensures that prospective owners are in the best hands with their Fairline purchase. We’re excited to introduce the partnership at The Newport Beach International Boat Show (18-21 April 2024) and look forward to establishing a strong presence for Fairline on the West Coast,” concludes Newman.
Steve Leeson at Fairline Americas says: “We are delighted to welcome Rob and the MRN Yacht Sales team to the Fairline family. Rob’s passion for the brand is obvious and we are confident his commitment to delivering exceptional customer experience mirrors that of our own, we are looking forward to a long and successful partnership.”
MRN Yacht Sales will showcase the F//LINE, Targa, Phantom and Squadron ranges. The F//LINE range offers the F//LINE 33 and F//LINE 33 outboard, the Targa range includes five models from 40-50ft, the Phantom 65 and the three Squadron models from 50-68ft.
