Jesse Postma – Owner and marine technician
I’m Jesse: calm, practical and technically minded. I prefer helping boat owners with clear explanations, honest advice and a solution that is not only completed neatly, but continues to work reliably.
From time at the marina to everyday professional work
I have worked professionally with boats since 2018. I gained that experience through an employer and later as a self-employed business owner. My interest started much earlier: from a young age, I spent a great deal of time at friends’ marina. Boats began as a hobby and practical interest before becoming my profession.
Finding out why something is not working
Solving a technical fault gives me real satisfaction. Engine problems are particularly interesting: rather than replacing parts at random, I prefer to investigate the cause calmly and determine which solution makes sense.
I am direct and honest about what I find and do not make a problem sound better than it is. Reliability and tidy execution come first. I am also entrepreneurial and helpful: I want Schilpo Boats to grow while keeping the contact personal and continuing to give customers clear guidance.
