For many, their lifestyle and their career are totally separate. As a Yacht Broker with United City Yachts, you can turn your passion for sales, people, and freedom on the water into your career.

United City Yachts with full staff has eleven brokers, a full staff of admin, and managers to assist our brokers. We pride ourselves on being an inclusive and cooperative company;

Each broker has a designated and protected territory, we are able to share best practices and strategies without fear of having to ever "compete" with each other.

We are looking for someone who is an energetic self-starter who is looking to grow with our business and be a key member of our team in one of our open territories.
