Halloween is sneaking up on us...and so is the time of year in California when we can experience all four seasons in a day! There's still plenty of warmth and sunshine for a good day of boating, so we hope you're finding time to get out and enjoy the water. And, if you're looking for something fun to celebrate this upcoming "Halloweekend", check out this list of suggested events near each of our Seacoast locations!
Supply is Low
As we enter the last few months of the calendar year, demand for used boats is still very high, but supply is low. The boating population in California continues to grow, as people seek more ways to enjoy the outdoors after being cooped up with COVID-19 lockdowns. If you have been thinking of selling your boat, now is the perfect time. Contact your local Seacoast office to get a market valuation of your boat!
Salesperson Spotlight
San Pedro-Wilmington Sales Agent, Mark Davenport, had a standout month, completing four sales in September, and three more already this month. He received glowing feedback from clients whom he helped during one of the most difficult times of their lives, going above and beyond to walk them through the process of selling a loved one's boat from out-of-state. Thank you, Mark, for taking such great care of your clients!

'Tis Spiny Lobster Season
With a record number of lobster report card sales during the 2020-2021 season, and the majority being new lobster hunters, we're excited to see what this year brings. The season opened Saturday, Oct. 2, and will continue through March 16, 2022.

Before flocking to your favorite lobstering spot, it's important to know current regulations.
  • A lobster report card is required for all fishing for lobster, and those 16 years and older must have a valid sport fishing license and an ocean enhancement stamp.
  • The daily lobster bag limit is seven.
  • Hoop nets or by hand is the only way you catch; no other devices may be used.
  • When taking lobster, consult the Ocean Sport Fishing Interactive Map to make sure you're not fishing in prohibited waters.

Make of the Month
DeFever
With a sturdy build and recognizable trawler profile, DeFevers are reliable power yachts well-suited for long-range cruising. According to DeFever Cruisers, Arthur DeFever began designing a
series of long-range cruising powerboats in the early 1960s, when long-range cruising was still almost always done in sailboats. With wood construction, many of these early boats were built in Santa Barbara. As of 2019, more than 3,300 DeFever hulls had been built, with new models made of fiberglass and built by various U.S. and Asian manufacturers over the years.
