Job description

Bowline Marinas owns and operates 11 marinas across Florida, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina

and North Carolina, from the Florida Keys to the Neuse River, including three inland lake properties.

Our marinas offer wet slips, dry-stack storage, boat clubs, fuel, ship stores and marine service. Our

teams deliver safe, reliable, member-first service on the water every day.

Bowline is growing fast, and we're building the team to match. We strategically acquire marinas, then

reposition them with real investment: new docks, racks, lifts and service, and a higher standard of

care for every member who comes through the gate. Our goal is to become one of the largest

owners and operators of marinas in the United States, and every new property we add brings new

places to work, new problems to solve and new room to grow.

What ties us together is a simple standard: best-in-class service, every day, at every marina. From

the dock crew launching the first boat of the morning to the managers and accounting team keeping

the business running, everyone here is rallying behind the same mission as we expand into new

territories. We're a team that pitches in, takes ownership and looks out for each other, and we want

people who are excited to help build something.

If you want to grow with a company on the move, we'd love to meet you.
