Turn Your Customer Service Skills Into a Career on the Water
The Service Writer at Boater’s World Marine Centers – Islamorada is a key player in delivering an exceptional marine ownership experience in one of the most iconic boating destinations in the country. This role is perfect for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, customer-focused environment and takes pride in building lasting relationships with boaters who live for the water.
As a Service Writer, you’ll be the primary point of contact for customers needing service and parts—translating technical needs into clear solutions, setting expectations, and ensuring every customer feels confident, informed, and excited to return. In Islamorada, boating isn’t just a hobby—it’s a lifestyle—and this role puts you at the center of it.
What You’ll Do Deliver a Stand-Out Customer Experience
Create a welcoming, professional, and high-energy experience for every customer
Build long-term relationships that drive repeat business and customer loyalty
Assist customers across all departments when needed (Service, Parts, and Sales)
Maintain a clean, organized, and professional workspace
Identify opportunities to enhance the customer experience and communicate them to management
Own the Service Process
Accurately assess customer concerns by listening carefully, asking the right questions, and clarifying service needs
Review maintenance history and service schedules to recommend appropriate repairs and preventative services
Prepare accurate estimates for labor, parts, and materials
Open, manage, and close repair orders (ROs) in Lightspeed, clearly documenting symptoms, diagnoses, and approved work
Communicate proactively with customers regarding repair status, approvals, and timelines
Perform thorough intake inspections to identify additional service opportunities and increase revenue
Coordinate and manage sublet work orders as needed
Ensure compliance with all Boater’s World Marine Centers policies and applicable state regulations
Why This Role in Islamorada Stands Out
Work in a world-class boating destination surrounded by the water every day
Be part of a tight-knit, high-performing marine team
Engage with passionate boaters who rely on expert guidance and service
Build a long-term career in the marine industry with a growing organization
Requirements
Proven experience in a Service Writer, Service Advisor, or customer-facing service role
Marine industry experience strongly preferred; automotive or powersports service experience considered with transferable skills
Strong customer service and communication skills with the ability to build trust and long-term relationships
Comfortable explaining technical service needs in a clear, customer-friendly manner
Highly organized with strong attention to detail and follow-through
Ability to manage multiple repair orders and priorities in a fast-paced environment
Working knowledge of service workflows, repair orders, and estimating labor and parts
Experience with dealership management systems (Lightspeed experience a plus)
Proficient with computers and data entry
Ability to perform intake inspections and identify potential service and maintenance opportunities
