YachtWorld.com Makes Key Promotion


YachtWorld.com (www.YachtWorld.com)—the largest searchable brokerage boats for sale photo database on the Web—announced today the promotion of Bob Summers from Product Development Manager to Business Development Manager and the addition of Mason Britton as the Florida Regional Sales Manager for the site.

Bob Summers began with YachtWorld.com in 1997 and built the BoatWizard user interface that offers brokers a way to add and update their listings on the site. BoatWizard helped launch YachtWorld.com as the leading advertising and Multiple Listing Service (MLS) service for yacht brokers in the world, creating an easy-to-use and smart interface that connects the yacht brokerage community to millions of consumers through the Internet. Bob Summers will be in charge of the new development and growth of YachtWorld.com in his new position. His extensive knowledge of the site and ability to understand member needs and translate them into deliverable services makes him the best choice for the position.

“YachtWorld.com has an important responsibility to deliver superior services 24/7 to its members and their customers,” said Jessica Muffett, publisher of YachtWorld.com. “Bob Summers knows how to do this better than anyone else.”

YachtWorld.com’s new Florida Regional Sales Manager, Mason Britton, has been a YachtWorld member broker since 1998 and a member of the yachting community since 1984. He was previously on the board of directors for the Yacht Brokers Association of America (YBAA), head of the New England regional YBAA membership committee and on the committee for Certification of Yacht Brokers. Britton brings an immense knowledge of the new boat and brokerage communities with him and will help build relationships with brokers in Florida and the surrounding region.

“YachtWorld.com prides itself on its ability to adapt and grow along with the brokerage community,” said James Nolan, general manager of YachtWorld.com. “The addition of Mason Britton brings a face and a name associated with YachtWorld.com to brokers in Florida. He understands the concerns of our members and he will help YachtWorld.com continue to build member relations while helping to tailor the site to their needs.”
