Full-Time

Bluewater Yacht Sales is recruiting for a yacht broker opportunity on its brokerage team in Baltimore, Maryland. The full-time role sits within a company that sells new and pre-owned yachts and supports brokerage customers across Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, and Florida. The employer lists competitive commission splits, a broker training program, dedicated offices, and affiliated service yards.

Bluewater Yacht Sales is family owned and has operated since 1968. Its waterfront office network covers the Mid-Atlantic and South Florida, while the selected work location is Baltimore, Maryland . The brokerage team works with new boats, pre-owned listings, and the client service that follows a sale. The position suits an experienced sales professional who can build trust around a high-value purchase.

• Employment type: Full-Time
• Compensation: Competitive commission splits

Applicants can review the office network, commission structure, training program, and listed benefits before applying. The application decision centers on whether a candidate wants client-facing yacht sales work within a multi-state brokerage operation.

Brokerage Team Work

A Bluewater yacht broker develops relationships with buyers and sellers, learns each vessel's specifications, and keeps the sales process organized from the first conversation through closing. The work combines client communication with accurate listing information, showings, offer discussions, contracts, and transaction follow-up. A broker also coordinates with colleagues whose work covers service, marketing, new boat operations, and marina support.

The position belongs to the wider field of marine sales roles , where product knowledge and clear documentation carry equal weight. A broker must distinguish between a buyer's stated preference and the vessel's actual condition, equipment, ownership history, and operating profile. Client conversations, listing materials, inspections, and closing documents need to remain consistent as a transaction moves between departments.

• Build and maintain buyer and seller relationships.
• Explain yacht specifications, equipment, ownership details, and operating uses.
• Coordinate showings, follow-up communications, offers, contracts, and closing steps.
• Work with service, marketing, and new boat operations teams.
• Keep client records and transaction documents accurate.

Baltimore And The Bluewater Office Network

Baltimore is one of the locations named for Bluewater Yacht Sales' brokerage operation. The company also lists offices in Annapolis, Ocean City, Hampton, Virginia Beach, Wanchese, Beaufort, Morehead City, Wilmington, and South Florida. A broker can therefore work within a regional network that reaches Chesapeake boating markets, coastal North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, and South Florida.

The company's offices are waterfront locations connected to yacht sales and service. That setting places customer meetings, boat visits, and operational coordination close to the vessels and the people responsible for them. The Baltimore yacht sales position uses that regional network while keeping the role anchored in a named local market.

Broker Training And Office Support

Bluewater Yacht Sales lists a broker training program for its brokerage team. The company also identifies dedicated offices, affiliated service yards, and a high admin-to-broker ratio as part of its support structure. These resources place administrative coordination, product information, and service contacts alongside the sales function.

The employer lists vacation and paid time off, 401(k) options, health and dental insurance, and tuition assistance among its team benefits. The careers page also names competitive salaries and commission opportunities, while the role's compensation field identifies competitive commission splits. Benefit eligibility and the final compensation arrangement remain matters for the employer and applicant to settle during the hiring process.

Professional yacht sales depends on accurate information, written agreements, and careful handling of client funds and transaction details. The Certified Professional Yacht Broker program identifies a three-hour examination, a code of ethics, continuing education, and conduct in the consumer's best interest as elements of its professional framework. The CPYB program also sets standards for business practices and professional behavior.

The role does not require a candidate to present a CPYB designation in the published opportunity, but the field has established qualifications that shape responsible practice. The certification requirements include yacht brokerage experience, applicable governmental licenses, contract knowledge, escrow controls, references, and an ethics agreement. A broker entering the profession needs enough marine knowledge to explain a vessel accurately and enough process discipline to protect the transaction.

Boat Brands And Product Knowledge

Bluewater Yacht Sales represents Regulator, Jarrett Bay, Back Cove, and Sabre. The brokerage team works across new and used inventory, so a broker must understand how each boat's construction, systems, layout, performance, and intended use affect a buyer's decision. Product knowledge also includes the difference between a new-boat purchase, a pre-owned transaction, and a brokerage listing.

Boat knowledge develops through inspection, time on the water, conversations with service teams, and repeated review of vessel documentation. A broker can explain which questions belong with a technician, which details belong in a contract, and which buyer preferences need a different vessel or brand. Bluewater's combination of sales, service, and marina operations keeps those questions connected to the wider ownership process.

The company has maintained a family-owned structure since 1968 while expanding its waterfront presence across several coastal states. That history places the Baltimore role within a long-running business rather than a single-office sales operation.

The broker's work continues after an initial introduction through listing preparation, client updates, vessel visits, contract coordination, and closing follow-through. Bluewater's service relationships add operational contacts when a transaction reaches inspection, delivery, maintenance, or ownership support.
