Boat Sales & Operations Lead - Dartmouth.

Boat Sales & Operations Lead - Dartmouth

Location: Noss on Dart Marina, Dartmouth
Salary: Up to £50,000 base + commission

Overview

This is an established marine business with over 30 years' experience across boat sales, brokerage, charter and on-water experiences, originally founded in Abersoch.

As part of its next phase of growth, the business is opening a new operation at Noss on Dart Marina, Dartmouth, supported by an experienced back-office and technical team based in Abersoch, alongside a satellite office in Southampton.

The Dartmouth operation will be developed in a phased and sustainable way, with staffing and services expanding as demand grows.

The Opportunity

We are seeking a hands-on, commercially minded Boat Sales & Operations Lead to run day-to-day activity at the Dartmouth site during its initial phase.

This is a broad, practical role suited to someone who enjoys variety, ownership and being close to both customers and boats. You will act as the main on-site representative, supported remotely by an established central team.

Key Responsibilities

Office & Customer Management

• Act as the primary on-site presence at Noss on Dart Marina

• Handle enquiries across new boat sales, brokerage, charter, Boat Club and FLITE eFoil

• Manage customer communication, quotations, bookings and follow-up

• Maintain CRM and sales records

• Liaise with marina staff, brands and commercial partners

Boat Sales, Brokerage & FLITE

• Support and progress new boat sales, including Navan Boats (UK dealer) and Italboats

• Assist with brokerage listings, viewings and sales progression

• Act as the on-site point of contact for FLITE eFoil experiences and product enquiries

• Coordinate demonstrations, sea trials and customer handovers

On-Water & Operational Activity

• Support on-water demonstrations and handovers

• Assist with charter and Boat Club coordination

• Oversee vessel presentation and readiness on site

• Coordinate visiting technical and PDI support from the central team

Business Development

• Help build local awareness of the Dartmouth operation

• Support growth across Boat Club, charter and FLITE eFoil experiences

• Provide feedback to inform future staffing and operational planning

What This Role Is (and Isn't)

This role is hands-on, customer-facing, varied and entrepreneurial in nature.

It is not a marina management role, a large-team leadership position (initially), or a purely desk-based sales role.

The scope and seniority are expected to grow as the operation develops.

Skills & Experience

• Background in marine, boating, brokerage, charter, marina or leisure sectors

• Comfortable dealing directly with customers and closing sales

• Practical understanding of boats and on-water activity

• Interest in premium on-water experiences such as eFoiling

• Organised, self-motivated and commercially aware

Package

• Up to £50,000 base salary (depending on experience)

• Commission on qualifying sales activity (boats, brokerage, FLITE, etc.)

• Support from an experienced back-office and technical team

• Opportunity to grow the role as the Dartmouth operation expands

Why Join

An opportunity to take ownership of a new location for a long-established marine business, work with exciting premium brands, and combine boat sales, brokerage and on-water experiences while shaping a role that grows alongside the business.
