John and Ingrid Kachmar on Wilbur Yachts

John & Ingrid Kachmar run Wilbur Yachts together. Ingrid grew up in the company, and learned a great deal from her father, founder Lee Wilbur. "Quality is always job #1." As a custom boatbuilder, their customers are very discerning, and know what they want out of their boats. John says that he is living the dream, and takes tremendous pride in the boats they make in their Southwest Harbor facility.
