BEACH
Tour Newport Beach is dedicated to the preservation and celebration of timeless beauty on the water. Captivated by what he calls the 'technicolor life,' Jim Jacobson, an American Institute of Architecture award-winning home builder and Seattle native, has purchased and restored many yachts over the past decade with the vision of preserving their art, beauty, and history each day on the water.
Each one of the yachts Jacobson has lovingly restored carries passion, elegance, and stories of journeys with her. She holds, in her hull, moments of adventure and excitement, laughter and love. Tour Newport Beach is a collection of Jacobson's work and labor of this love.

BOAT RESTORATION
Each of these boats was purchased and hand-restored by Jacobson over the past decade. Struck by their beauty and how, through restoration, he could 'deftly capture both a time and place,' he was driven to work on these yachts and build an extensive portfolio that preserves the beauty, luxury, and zest of the time periods in which they were originally crafted.
COME ABOARD
Dance under the moonlight on our polished teak decks, host a romantic dinner with the sound of lulling waves, or bring the family for a weekend cruise around the Pacific Ocean. These fully-resorted yachts will bring your dreams to life.
