Do you love working with your hands and take pride in seeing a job well done? Are you looking for a position that combines mechanical skills, problem-solving, and a fun, fast-paced environment? If so — we want you on our team!

About the Role

We’re looking for a motivated and detail-oriented Boat Prepper to help bring brand-new boats to life! In this hands-on role, you’ll be the final touch before a boat heads out to its excited new owner. You’ll unwrap, install, and polish up each boat so it’s fully ready for adventure.

No prior boating experience? No problem. If you have basic mechanical knowledge and are comfortable using hand tools, we’ll train you on everything you need to know.

Duties

  • Remove factory packaging and protective wrap
  • Install batteries, speakers, propellers, and minor boat systems
  • Use basic tools to perform light mechanical work
  • Clean and detail each boat to showroom standards
  • Check for quality and readiness before customer delivery
  • Work closely with a fun, supportive crew who love what they do

What We’re Looking For

  • You enjoy hands-on work and solving small mechanical challenges
  • You have basic experience with tools and light mechanical tasks (automotive, home repair, bikes, etc.)
  • You care about details and doing things right the first time
  • You’re willing to learn and take pride in delivering a top-notch product
  • You’re dependable, team-oriented, and ready to roll up your sleeves

Why You’ll Love Working With Us

  • Laid-back, outdoor-friendly environment (you won’t be stuck behind a desk)
  • On-the-job training — learn valuable skills that translate across industries
  • Be part of the boating lifestyle — even if you’ve never set foot on a boat
  • Great team atmosphere and room to grow
  • Competitive pay employee discounts seasonal perks

Experience

  • Strong attention to detail and the ability to execute tasks accurately.
  • Familiarity with vehicle or boat maintenance practices is advantageous.
  • Proficiency in using power tools and equipment safely and effectively.
  • Excellent customer service skills to foster positive client relationships.

This is the perfect opportunity for someone who loves learning by doing, isn’t afraid to get a little dirty, and takes pride in a job well done. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to switch things up, we encourage you to apply and give it a shot!
