“Sailboat” Mike Shebester

As my name implies I am someone that most people associate with sailing even though I have a passion for all types of boating. I learned to sail 35 years ago and have been active in both cruising and racing. I have lived aboard for most of the past 14 years on a variety of boats. The thing that I love about sailing is that it can be either the most relaxing or intense activity that you can participate in depending on whether you are cruising or racing.

I have a Bachelors of Science in Industrial Engineering and a background in the oil industry. I started my yacht selling career representing Beneteau Sailboats at Loe’s Highport on Lake Texoma in 1992. I joined the Sea Lake Yacht Sales team in December 2003 and I am excited about or new location at Pier 121 Marina on Lake Lewisville  and all the new product lines that I now represent. I have been successful in selling boats but I am not a high pressure salesman. My customers keep coming back to me for my product knowledge and my listening ability. Once I find out what features you want in a boat and how you are going to use a boat I take my experience and product knowledge to steer you to the right boat. Let me help you find the right boat for you.

Bill Mays

I have often suggested to friends who do not sail, that they should really try it because it is better than having ten psychiatrists available to give you serenity and a clear head.

I began sailing in 1970 in a 12 foot dingy on White Rock Lake and have owned or rented boats up to 47 feet in the Narragansett Bay, the Gulf of Mexico and Puget Sound. I built a small fiberglass catamaran sailboat in 1971, and have owned and restored several small wooden boats and I am currently restoring a 1957 15 ‘Yellow Jacket runabout; one of ten thousand built in Denison, Texas.
