Sam was born and raised in Chicago and grew up boating throughout the Great Lakes. To say the least, his family is very enthusiastic about boating. Among other boats, they owned four Sunseeker Yachts that they purchased from JBYS. Having spent so much time aboard and operating a vast array of boats, Sam brings a wide range of experience and expertise to the team.

Sam has a degree in hospitality and entrepreneurship from DePaul University and holds a USCG 100 Ton Captain’s License. Before shifting his focus to boat sales, he spent six years working in crew and marina management. His family instilled in him a passion for boating, and Sam is proud to share this with others. He takes great pride in helping customers experience the wonders of life on the water.

"I can't even begin to describe how amazing my experience was here. Ron Montoya was always cheerful and always had our best interest at heart. He told us when a boat was not right for us, even if it was a boat owned by the brokerage. He was always available whenever I called, no matter how trivial the questions were. Even after the sale, he made sure any help we needed, he provided. Then there was Sam Mesi. He was very knowledgeable and always gave his honest opinion. For example, when he thought a boat he was selling was overpriced, he told us. Sam even took my family on a three day trip to bring the boat to Boyne from St. Claire. He taught me all along the way making sure I was able to handle the boat myself. All the while, he stayed calm and even keel no matter the situation. I can't forget to mention the wealth of information that is the business office. They answered every question about financing, and even got me a lower rate at the last moment. They helped to find insurance, documentation, and anything else I needed to acquire the boat. I also want to extend a special thank you to David Ottenhoff, Jerome Haynes, Kevin Dettloff, David Lesh and the entire service team. They were all the upmost professionals, and answered any and every question I had. They were also very efficient at correcting any service problems. The entire team, starting with Ron and Sam, have made this first time boater much more comfortable and the overall experience was unbelievable. I thank all of you so much."
