I was born and raised in Rhode Island and was always fascinated by the local rich maritime history and the freedom and ability to explore in a boat. After spending time working for Grady White and Beneteau dealers on the east coast, I was fortunate to have an opportunity to join the team at South Coast Yachts in 2015. One of the things that I enjoy about working with Beneteau is to be able to communicate and travel abroad and make friendships throughout the world. In my free time I am enjoying life with my wife and children.

Cindy is a native San Diegan and has always lived within the sight and scent of the sea. She has a lifetime of boating experience and enjoys swimming, diving, and paddle boarding. She says, “It is a great joy to liaise between our valued customers and the great team at BENETEAU in order to bring a fulfilling boating experience to each our clients.”

Hailing from the Land of 10,000 Lakes, Stephanie grew up boating and fishing in Minnesota. She moved to San Diego and earned her degree from SDSU. After graduation, she spent four years on Oahu before returning to San Diego. When she’s not in the service department, Steph enjoys sailing, scuba diving, and hiking.

Brad grew up in Ocean Beach, CA., where he began body surfing and diving at a young age. His professional boating career started at 19, as a deckhand on a sport fishing yacht. He spent several seasons traveling between San Diego and Baja, fishing in Southern California, Cabo, and the Sea of Cortez. 

He then moved to the island of Oahu, where he worked as a carpenter, distiller, and underwater mechanic.  He returned to San Diego and worked as a marine electronics installer before joining the South Coast team. 

When he’s away from the docks, Brad enjoys woodworking, brewing beer, and reading science fiction and local history books.
