Electric Motor • Single-Handed Sailing • Autopilot • 2 Sets of Sails • Dry Bilge • 6’2″ Headroom • New Bottom Paint

If you’re looking for an ordinary 30-foot sailboat, there are plenty out there.

This Newport 30 is different.

It has been thoughtfully upgraded for easy, enjoyable sailing, with quiet electric propulsion, autopilot, and a single-handed sailing setup that allows one person to comfortably operate the boat without needing a full crew.

Sail when there’s wind. Cruise quietly under electric power when there isn’t.

No diesel smell. No engine noise. No complicated diesel maintenance.

⚡ Over $10,000 Invested in Electric Propulsion

One of the biggest upgrades to this Newport 30 is its fully electric propulsion system.

✓ Fully electric motor
✓ Extremely quiet operation
✓ No diesel fumes or smell
✓ No oil changes
✓ No diesel fuel-system headaches
✓ Very low maintenance
✓ Smart battery monitoring through a dedicated app
✓ See battery charge and remaining power in real time
✓ Up to approximately 5 hours of cruising on battery power alone, depending on speed and conditions
✓ Generator can be added for extended cruising and additional range

Push a button and quietly leave the marina.

⛵ Designed for Single-Handed Sailing

This boat is set up so you don’t need to find a crew every time you want to go sailing.

✓ Rigged for single-handed operation
✓ Autopilot for easier solo cruising
✓ Roller-furling jib
✓ Mainsail stack/storage bag attached to the boom
✓ Two sets of sails in good condition

The roller-furling jib allows you to deploy or roll in the jib without manually removing and folding the sail.

The mainsail stack bag makes lowering, storing, and covering the mainsail quick and easy.

Combined with autopilot, the entire setup means less time wrestling with sails and more time enjoying the water.

🧭 Sailing Equipment & Extras

✓ Autopilot
✓ Two sets of sails in good condition
✓ Single-handed sailing setup
✓ Two-person sailing communication system
✓ Headsets and microphones
✓ Numerous spare parts
✓ Additional accessories and equipment
✓ Future-project items included

There are simply too many extras to list.

🛥️ Comfortable 30-Foot Cruiser

The Newport 30 offers a surprisingly comfortable interior for a boat of this size.

✓ Approximately 6’2″ interior headroom
✓ Comfortable cabin
✓ Microwave
✓ Smart TV
✓ Brand-new radio
✓ Dry bilge
✓ Great for family outings
✓ Excellent for day sailing
✓ Comfortable for weekend trips

It’s a practical size: large enough to spend real time aboard, but manageable enough to enjoy without needing a crew.

🔧 Upgraded Without Cutting Corners

This wasn’t a boat where we tried to save a few dollars by taking shortcuts.

When something needed attention, we took care of it properly.

A considerable amount of time, money, and thought has gone into this Newport—from the electric propulsion conversion to the sailing equipment and numerous upgrades.

The next owner gets not only the boat, but also many of the parts, accessories, and equipment we’ve accumulated for it.

Why This Newport 30 Stands Out

It’s difficult to find these three features together in an older 30-foot sailboat:

⚡ Clean, nearly silent electric propulsion
⛵ True single-handed sailing capability
🧭 Autopilot

The result is a boat you can actually use more often.

Want to go sailing by yourself? Go.

No wind? Cruise under electric power.

Want a peaceful afternoon with family? No diesel engine rumbling underneath you or filling the cabin with fumes.

It’s simple, quiet, and enjoyable.

⚓ San Pedro Location — Slip May Be Transferable

The boat is currently docked at Holiday Harbor Marina in San Pedro.

The slip is already nicely set up with:

✓ Dock-mounted spinning guide wheels
✓ Protective side cushions/fenders
✓ Easier entry and exit
✓ Additional protection while the boat is docked

The existing slip may be transferable to the new owner, subject to Holiday Harbor Marina approval, application, and credit requirements.

That gives the buyer the potential convenience of purchasing the boat and keeping it exactly where it is instead of immediately searching for another slip.

This boat is priced based on its condition, equipment, upgrades, sailing setup, and substantial electric conversion—not simply as an average older Newport 30.

If you’re looking for a quiet, easy-to-operate 30-foot sailboat that doesn’t require a crew or an old diesel engine, this Newport deserves a look.

Serious buyers are welcome to come see it.
