Yacht jobs in Canada

THIS IS A 100% COMMISSIONS PAID POSITION

We are seeking a Yacht Broker for our Yacht Brokerage firm that has previous experience working in Yacht Sales or a related industry (automotive sales, recreation vehicle sales, real estate sales etc.). This is an independent contractor position. Expectation of minimum $100,000 per year (80% of our brokers hit this target in 2024, with top earners bringing in over $200,000).

As a Yacht Broker with United City Yachts, you can turn your passion for sales, people, and freedom on the water into your career. While some home office work is required, much of the time is spent outdoors, walking the docks of marinas and yacht clubs, aboard boats, interacting with other people who are passionate about the yachting lifestyle. United City Yachts is proud to have eleven brokers, a full staff of admin, and managers to assist our brokers. Each broker has a designated and protected territory, allowing us to share best practices and strategies without fear of competition.

We are looking for an energetic self-starter who is looking to grow with our business and be a key member of our team in one of our open territories. Though we expect a Yacht Broker to cold call and generate leads, our business invests heavily in online marketing and will provide you tools and resources to help you in generating sales.

Company Description:

United City Yachts is Canada’s largest brokerage firm, specializing in both buying and selling pre-owned Yachts. We are expanding our reach across Canada and have accomplished our position in the industry by promoting the yachting lifestyle through innovative marketing and excellent client care. Our business owners are self-made entrepreneurs who are interested in hiring individuals who share the same values.
