Position Details

This is a full-time seasonal position with hours varying somewhat based on the time of year and dealership workload. Spring and fall are our busiest pickup and delivery seasons, so flexibility during those periods is important.

The majority of the job involves driving and transporting boats, but the ideal candidate is willing to help wherever needed when the delivery schedule is lighter.

If you enjoy driving, working around boats, and having a job where each day is a little different, we'd like to hear from you.
