EXPERIENCED
Having sold hundreds of boats both old and new in every possible scenario of buyers and sellers, there is no problem too challenging for Parton yachting. With a repeat client base that stretches back to the mid 90’s you can’t ignore the fact that happy clients come back.
INDEPENDANT
Parton Yachting has sold hundreds of boats, both old and new, in a wide range of buyer and seller scenarios, making no problem too challenging. The repeat client base, dating back to the mid-90s, is a testament to our success and the satisfaction of our customers.
ABYA
Since attending the ABYA Brokerage course in 1995, my membership has proven invaluable. Many boat owners are unaware that their broker should be qualified and carry professional indemnity insurance to safeguard against potential future issues. Boat buyers should feel completely confident when parting with their funds, assured of transaction transparency and knowing exactly who they are buying from and the payment details.
FRENCH RIVIERA
The French Riviera covers an extensive coastline. Since moving to France in 2003, I have sold and delivered boats from Southern Italy, Greece, Croatia, Portugal, the UK, and Scandinavia. In various scenarios, we have consistently found high-quality service solutions, with some being truly outstanding. While local service is always available, we are committed to finding long-term solutions to maintain your boat to the highest standard.

WILLIAM PARTON
Growing up with boats, from Sea Scouts to family sailing, naturally led me to the marine industry. In 1995, I had the good fortune to work at Berthon in Lymington, which many brokers recognize as top-tier training. By 2003, it was the perfect time for my expanding family and me to relocate to France. I then established Parton Yachting in 2005, with a simple guiding principle: always do your best and be completely honest.
I first was introduced to William and Parton Yachting over ten years ago. We bought our fist boat on the Cote D'Azur from him and over the intervening years have done further buying and selling of boats and berths! William manages to combine and easy approach to you whilst having an in-depth knowledge of the market. He takes time to listen to what you want and, perhaps most importantly in this business, he is 100% honest. I would absolutely recommend Parton Yachting to anyone wishing to become involved in boat ownership in the South of France. You will not do better than William and Parton Yachting.

I contacted William re a boat he had for sale and from the first phone call he couldn't have been more helpful. We spoke a lot over the next few weeks working out a deal with his client. I booked my flight over to Nice, WIlliam picked me up from the airport and spent the whole day driving me around so we could sea trial the boat. A few weeks later we completed the deal, everything couldn't of run smoother. A first class service and a definite recommend if you're looking for a boat in the South of France.

I bought a used Windy Oceancraft 845 through the Parton Yachting brokerage. This was my first experience of such a transaction. William Parton is a highly personable individual and he made every step of the process clear to understand and easy to effect, from pre-viewing discussions, to viewing, price negotiation, administration of the change of ownership, collection of the new owners from Nice Airport, boat handover and continued advice. I highly recommend Parton Yachting to anyone looking for a new or used boat and I am confident that in William's hands your journey through the acquisition process will be as equally as smooth as mine.
