Crafting Exceptional Yachting Experiences

MRN Yacht Sales emerged with a clear vision and mission: to redefine the norms of the marine industry by consistently raising the bar in practices, approaches, and standards, all aimed at providing customers with the ultimate experience possible.



Based in the heart of Marin County, CA, nestled within one of the most picturesque and renowned boating destinations in the United States, we are a forward-thinking "Yacht Sales" and "Yacht Ownership Support" enterprise, prioritizing client needs above all else.


Licensed and accredited in California, our services extend throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, Lake Tahoe Basin, Monterey, Santa Cruz, Southern California, and the broader West Coast boating regions.


Rooted in firsthand experience, our founder and team have garnered expertise through years of selling, commissioning, delivering, and supporting a diverse array of luxury, high-value motor yachts in the Bay Area and along the West Coast of the USA.

Owner/Founder

Bay Area

Raised in Oxford, UK, Rob's earliest memories involve navigating the River Thames aboard his family's cabin cruiser. Transitioning from a career as a Mechanical Maintenance engineer, he ventured into founding and managing a reputable special purpose machine design and manufacturing enterprise. Ten years later, he seized the opportunity to pursue his lifelong passion for power boats and motor yacht sales, commencing with the distribution of Crownline boats and yachts in Weymouth, UK, before relocating to the USA. Upon settling in the Midwest and enjoying a lakeside boating lifestyle, Rob eventually made his way to the Bay Area over a decade ago. There, he applied his expertise in various roles within a leading new boat dealership, encompassing sales consultancy, management, and operations development. Throughout his tenure, either directly or in a leadership capacity, Rob facilitated the sale, commissioning, and delivery of numerous new luxury yachts to clients across the Bay Area and West Coast. His extensive experience navigating the waters of the West Coast and beyond underscores his proficiency as a boat handler and operator. A resident of Tiburon, CA, since his arrival in San Francisco, Rob takes pride in his membership with the CYBA and the San Francisco Yacht Club, reflecting his deep-rooted connection to the maritime community.
