Boat Sales & Consignment Specialist

River Valley Power & Sport - Marine • Rochester, MN

12d • $75,000 - $95,000

About The Position

Love boats? Know them inside and out? Turn your boating knowledge into a high-earning career buying and selling used boats. River Valley is hiring a Marine Buyer & Consignment Specialist to work directly with private boat owners and fellow boating enthusiasts. You’ll source, evaluate, consign, and sell used boats while building strong relationships in the boating community. This is not an entry-level role and not a desk job. It’s built for someone with real marine experience who wants to turn that knowledge into income. Marine technicians, service advisors, and boat sales professionals are strongly encouraged to apply.

Why This Role Stands Out

Your boat knowledge directly drives your income
Work independently with full dealership support
Strong inbound leads and established customer base
Deal directly with real boat owners—not just online shoppers
Stay in the marine industry without turning wrenches all day
Long-term career path with a Top 10 Marine Dealer in North America

Typical Earnings: $75,000–$95,000 annually
