Shawn Sutherland — “2 Prawn”
Shawn brings a lifetime of West Coast boating experience to every client relationship. Growing up on the waters of British Columbia, his connection to the coast began at age twelve with his first boat—a modest aluminum runabout powered by a 25-hp Evinrude—and has since evolved into decades of active cruising, ownership, and industry involvement. A Past Commander and current instructor with the Canadian Power and Sail Squadron, Shawn is deeply committed to seamanship, safety, and sound decision-making on the water. He is a long-standing member of both the Burrard Yacht Club and the Deep Cove Yacht Club, with deep roots in the Pacific Northwest yachting community.
“I love everything about boating. Put me on the water, and I’m in my happy place. Being able to help others find the right boat—the one that truly fits their lifestyle—makes it even better.”
As an owner of Yacht BC Yacht Sales, a Certified Professional Yacht Broker (CPYB), and a current Board Member of the BC Yacht Brokers Association, Shawn offers clients discretion, clear market insight, and the confidence that comes from hands-on experience.
