SIEBERT YACHT MANAGEMENT, INC.
JUPITER, FLORIDA

Siebert Yacht Management provides annual boat yard services. For bottom paint services we only use high quality products on your yacht. Our service starts by power washing the bottom for growth buildup then sanding the existing paint to allow the new coating to adhere. We apply two coats of anti-fouling to an existing bottom, three coats of special anti-fouling to all underwater metal, like scoops, shafts, rudders, drives, and lifts. We replace all sacrificial anodes before the boat launches. Siebert Yacht Management provides all varnishing services for the interior and exterior of your yacht. We recommend recoating your exterior varnish every 6-8 months. We use a high quality varnish on your yacht. Our varnish system on a new boat or freshly stripped wood is to apply 12 coats of varnish, one at a time, then 2 coats of awl brite to seal and protect the varnish from the sun. John studied small engines during his freshman year of high school. He also studied automotive throughout high school where he maintained straight A’s. When he was 15 he started working at Irwin Yacht Works in Redbank, New Jersey. He started working as a yacht maintenance/ mechanics helper. A year later he moved up to rig new Bayliner boats, prep for delivery, and deliver them to clients. Irwin Yacht Works trained him in Force outboards, Mercury outboards, Mercruiser, and US marine. During this time John was still in high school and was taking vocational marine training. John began working as a full time marine technician for Irwin Yacht Works when he graduated from school. In 2001 John opened Bay Breeze Marine service and began his journey to self- employment. Bay Breeze was a mobile service that mainly serviced Mercury outboards, Mercruiser, and diesel engines. John’s business grew quickly. John ran Bay Breeze for a few years before he was offered a part time position at Oceanport Marina in Oceanport New Jersey. He was offered a steady work position as well as benefits. John accepted the position only if he was able to continue to build his own company. John was able to continue his training and grow his company while working for Oceanport. The owner of Oceanport wanted John to work full time and be a service manager/ technician. After a year with Oceanport, and a good offer, John accepted the position. John still ran Bay Breeze after hours. After a couple of years, John wanted to move on and get back into new boats, but this time he wanted to work on real yachts. The owner of Sandy Hook Yacht Sales and John knew each other for years and he always wanted John to work for him. John always turned him down because they rigged new yachts and installed electronics. At that time John’s passion was with engines. The owner of Sandy Hook pursued John and gave him an offer he could not refuse. John accepted the technicianposition, knowing he could continue his education as a marine technician and extend his knowledge to marine electronics.This is where John was introduced to Sabre Yachts. The owner of Sandy Hook encouraged John to start installing the electronics on new yachts. John was apprehensive at first, but became extremely interested in it. During his employment at Sandy Hook, John still ran Bay Breeze after hours. John gained training and was certified a Yamaha technician. Later he was certified as a Yamaha service manager. At this time he met his wonderful future wife Angela who lived in Florida. John knew that things were going to change. Sandy Hook Yacht Sales happened to have a sister company Jupiter Yacht Sales, located in Jupiter Florida. Jupiter Yacht Sales did not have a service department and only subcontracted their new yacht commissioning out. John asked the owner of Sandy Hook if they could open a service department, being that he eventually knew he would be moving to Florida. The owner of Sandy Hook thought it was a great idea and plans begun. John started working for Jupiter Yacht Sales during the winter on and off while spending time with his new love Angela. Later that year John bought a house in Florida and moved down a year later. John closed Bay Breeze when he moved to Florida in 2005. John worked full time for Jupiter Yacht Sales as a service manager and service technician. John was outfitting Sabre yachts and Backcove Yachts with electronics and custom installations. A year later John faced a major challenge when he was told the company was closing. John was very concerned being a new home owner and being in a new location without knowing a lot of people in the area. John’s fiancée, Angela gave him the encouragement and strength to start his own company. John was very apprehensive about this knowing the challenges he would face as a business owner again. Angela stood by him and together they opened Siebert Yacht Management in the summer of 2007. “I went down to the boat yesterday and took a long look at what has been done to Tartan III. It showed me again why I have you work on our boat! The changes to the hardtop really made a difference in appearance. The electronics installation is great and completely changed the look of the boat and of course, the usability of the equipment. What a great look in the cockpit now. The teak refinishing and removal of the SeaDek on the platform was such an improvement. Finished product is beautiful. We both really like what you and the crew have accomplished for us. Your ideas and experience sometimes amaze me. Raelee is anxious to see the results of the rest. Thanks for the good work and please pass this on to anyone involved.” Dana Russikoff, SureShade’s business leader, presents Siebert Yacht Management with Dealer of Year Award Siebert Yacht Management of Jupiter, FL honored for SureShade sales and customer service excellence in 2014 We are pleased to announced that Siebert Yacht Management, a professional yacht service company and certified Sabre Yachts service center, has demonstrated outstanding sales performance and installation expertise by successfully outfitting over a dozen boats with automated sunshade systems for their clients in 2014.
