A Note About Tiara Yachts:
Over 60 years ago, Tiara embarked on their voyage to create the finest yachts in the world built in the U.S.A. It started when the family patriarch, Leon Slikkers, founded SlickCraft in 1955. Mr. Slikker’s mantra of “Building the Best Boats” continues with the third generation of the family intimately involved in steering the future of the company while embracing their commitment to perfection and constantly seeking ways to improve the yachting experience. They also believe in taking care of the customer first.
Tiara’s “Quest to be the Best” centers on creating yachts that are visually stunning, incredibly comfortable, technologically advanced and easier to pilot. Their passion has earned Tiara the National Marine Manufacturers Association’s highest achievement, the Customer Service Index Award, for their dedication to customer service and quality.
With the goal of maintaining this status in the marine industry, Tiara Yachts are seeking Marine Service Technology graduates and Comprehensive Career Boat Building graduates who are experts at the mechanics of inboard and outboard engines and other boat equipment. This sponsorship award is established to support GLBBS students in their goal of seeking their certification and providing a meaningful career in the marine industry at Tiara Yachts.
