Boat Sales & Consignment Specialist
River Valley Power & Sport, Rochester, MN, United States
Marine Buyer & Consignment Specialist
Used Boats | Consignment | Marine Expertise Required
Full-Time | $75,000–$95,000+
Rochester, MN
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
Compensation Base Salary + Commission (Stable income with strong upside)
Typical Earnings: $75,000–$95,000 annually
Top Performers: $100,000+ possible
Your income is driven by:
Quality of inventory you acquire
Deal structure and negotiation
Inventory turn and gross profit
Schedule
Monday–Friday: 8:30 a.m. – 6:00 p.m.
Saturday: 9:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. (rotating)
Weekday off when working Saturday
Flexibility required during peak selling times
What You’ll Do
Source and acquire quality used boats from private sellers
Build and manage a profitable consignment inventory
Evaluate boat condition, value, and market pricing
Negotiate with sellers and buyers
Sell boats through Facebook Marketplace and Messenger
Assist with boat sales during events and on the showroom floor
Manage titles, contracts, and paperwork accurately
Maintain a clean, professional lot and showroom
Follow dealership processes and sales standards
What We’re Looking For (Non-Negotiable)
Strong working knowledge of boats (models, condition, values)
Comfortable working independently with performance expectations
Confident working face-to-face with customers
Strong negotiation skills
Experience using Facebook Marketplace and Messenger
Detail-oriented with paperwork and contracts
Self-motivated, reliable, and results-driven

Experience with Lightspeed / Lightspeed EVO, DP360, or Excel is a plus
Benefits Health Insurance
Medical, dental, and vision coverage
Medical plans starting around $50/month
Health Savings Account (HSA) option
Retirement
401(k) with Traditional and Roth options
Employer match: 50% up to 6%
