San Diego Residents Open World's Largest Used Yacht Brokerage in Southern California


Boatshed - the largest used yacht brokerage in the world with 70 locations in the
United States, Canada, Europe, the Mediterranean and the Carribean - has opened
locations in San Diego and Newport Beach California. Nearly 250,000 clients
currently registered worldwide with the Boatshed system will have access to boats
listed by the Boatshed San Diego office. Boatshed San Diego is owned and operated
by Carlsbad residents JD and Suzanne Morris, and Doug and Laura Macklem. They are in
the process of recruiting and hiring a minimum of 12 sales agents to cover protected
sales territories within San Diego County.

"San Diego is a world-class yacht destination and is a prime location for us to
operate a local business with an International reach," said Suzanne Morris. "Our
motto is we are proud to be local, but lucky to be global."

Utilizing a custom-built, state-of-the-art yacht brokerage and customer management
software system, Boatshed San Diego is able to capture and communicate top quality
information about each boat they list. In order for a boat to be listed in the
Boatshed system, a member of the staff must personally visit the boat and take up to
70 photos. This information is also fed into more than a dozen MLS listing services
worldwide.

"We know that our clients' time is valuable and selling a boat can be stressful, so
we take every measure to ensure they are sold quickly and efficiently with as little
traffic on their boat as possible," added Morris. "We do this by personally
visiting every boat and taking a detailed and honest written and photographic
account of the boat."

There are 250 unique visitors per second viewing the more than 2,200 listings on
Boatshed. Because of the level of detail in the photos and written information, it
takes an average of 2.2 showings to sell a Boatshed listing. Each viewing is
personally accompanied by a Boatshed San Diego team member.

"We can provide the kind of access to buyers that most brokerages cannot," said
Morris. "The boating industry is an important one to San Diego and we look forward
to making it even more dynamic with our International connections."
