Turn your love for boats into a career on the water.

At Irish Boat Shop, we don’t just sell boats — we help people make memories on the water. From first-time buyers to lifelong boaters, our brokers are trusted guides who match customers with the right boat for their lifestyle.

We’re looking for a Yacht Broker to join our sales team in Traverse City and Harbor Springs, working with new, used, and brokerage boats in one of the most beautiful boating regions in the country.

• Build strong, long-term relationships with customers who love being on the water
• Guide customers through the boat-buying process — from first conversation to closing
• Match boats to customer needs, lifestyle, and budget
• Present and demonstrate boats, highlighting features and value
• Stay current on products, inventory, and market trends
• Follow up with prospective and existing customers to grow your book of business
• Handle sales documentation and keep accurate records using tools like Salesforce
• Represent Irish Boat Shop at boat shows, demos, and company events

• A people-person who naturally builds trust and puts customers at ease
• High energy, self-motivated, and comfortable working toward sales goals
• Confident communicator who can explain features, pricing, and options clearly
• Willing to learn — boating experience is helpful, but passion matters most
• Comfortable using basic technology (Word, Excel; Salesforce a plus)
• Physically able to move around boats, climb ladders, and lift up to 30 lbs
• Flexible availability, including six days a week during peak season and occasional Sundays

• Established, respected name in Northern Michigan boating
• A team-first culture where everyone pitches in
• Access to a strong inventory of new, used, and brokerage boats
• Opportunity to build long-term client relationships — not just one-off sales
• Work where others vacation

If you love boating, enjoy working with people, and want a career that’s anything but boring, we’d love to talk. Apply today and help our customers have more fun on the water!
