She also worked in Tiara Yachts marketing fulfillment department while she went to Hope College, in Holland, MI.

Craig Tallberg has two passions, cars and boats! Growing up in Michigan, he has been around both all of his life. He has always been enamored with boats and had his first boat at the age of eight. Since that time he has always owned a boat and found it was his “fix” for relaxing. He is still active in sailing with a team from Michigan. He has competed in many races in Chicago, Mackinaw, and Key West.

His love for cars took him through several car dealerships, but he always made time for boating. He decided to sell his dealership and move to Hilton Head, South Carolina, so he could spend more time on the water. He hasn’t had a lot of time for recreational boating, though, because he has taken on the Tiara franchise for South Carolina and Georgia. Most of his time is know spent on the phone, at the local marinas, and talking with anyone who will listen about boating.

Craig purchased his first Tiara in the 80s. Since then he has owned several Tiara Yachts, and he loves the product. His personal experience and knowledge of the Tiara line give him a unique understanding that allows him to successfully educate new owners. His enthusiasm for boating is addicting, and every boat purchase new or used is very personal to him. He doesn’t feel he is selling boats; he is just meeting new friends that share his passion for the water and boating.

Kevin Parker grew up in the boating business and has 18 years experience selling new and brokerage boats. He is knowledgeable about the Tiara product and has participated in the Tiara University program. He uses this knowledge and experience to help his customers meet their boating needs. He takes great time and care to make sure his customers are satisfied before, during and after a sale. He enjoys exploring the waters of Southeastern North Carolina and spending time with his wife and kids.

Wayne Smith, CPYB, began yacht sales in 1988 as a brokerage owner in Seattle, WA. In 1994, he joined Compass Point Yachts (since Crow’s Nest Yacht Sales) where he served as a Senior Broker and the Product Manager for sales, marketing, and delivery of new construction projects in support of the Cheoy Lee Shipyards and the in-house Compass Yacht brand vessels from 55’ to 172’. During this period, the company also represented Tiara Yachts and a significant brokerage business where Wayne earned a large following of clients for Tiaras and used vessels. Considerable exposure to many yacht brands and models, including resale, production, and new construction, has given Wayne a solid understanding of today's power yachts.

Now relocated to New Bern, North Carolina, to expand our operations he will bring his experience and support to boaters in that area.

Wayne is one of the founding members of the Northwest Yacht Brokers Association and has served two terms as President, and many years on the board and various committees. In 2005, he earned the distinction of Certified Professional Yacht Broker (CPYB).
