Mike Schlesinger

General Manager

Mike’s passion with the water began in his early childhood where he would spend most weekends waterskiing on the Hawkesberry River with his family and their ski boat.

At the age of 12, Mike was working weekends at the local Marina serving fuel and running the tender service, so he could buy his first boat a “10ft tinnie” and so the dreaded boating bug had begun.  Now, twelve boats later, Mike has covered thousands of sea miles and enjoys nothing more than spending time out on the water.

At the age of 17, Mike commenced his apprenticeship as Shipwright and Boat Builder on Sydney Harbour completing his time in 1998 before running the slipway and workshop for Traditional Shipwrights at the Spit.

  • 2002 Mike was appointed Service Manager for Riviera NSW and spent time in their QLD factory
  • 2009 Mike was appointed Operations Manager at Sydney City Marine
  • 2016 Mike was appointed General Manager at Marina Bayside

Being a Shipwright and Boat Builder, Mike has the vast and unique experience of three decades in the Marine Industry and delivers exceptional customer service with a strong eye for detail and the hands-on knowhow to ensure your vessel is in good hands. Mike always thrives and works closely with his team of Marine Industry professionals who bring excellent customer service, professionalism, expertise, innovation, and a commitment to excellence in all aspect of our work
