Position Description - 'Sales'

About Us:

St Kilda Boat Sales is a Victorian & Tasmanian Caribbean Runabout and Big Boat Dealer. Uniquely positioned and well-credentialed, as the only Caribbean dealer in Australia to market the entire Caribbean product range.

In addition, we offer quality, well-maintained used boats, most have low engine hours. Victorian boat owners are very fussy and given the geographic location of Melbourne, many have never been seriously fished. Well over 50% of our used boats sold, are to residents of; WA, QLD or NSW. Known as Melbourne’s central on-water brokerage, proudly offering all makes and sizes of quality USED Boats. Brands include; Bertram, Caribbean, Riviera, Maritimo, Mariner, Sea Ray, Sunrunner, Mustang, Four Winns, Quintrex, Streaker and Haines.

Interstate buyers just LOVE Victorian Boats. Australia-wide transport is available.

We have emerged as one of Australia’s premier, new and used boat dealerships and boutique brokerages. As a Boating Industry Association 'Accredited Dealer' we demonstrate that our dealership is following a set of guidelines aiming to provide higher standards of excellence within our own dealership and the industry in general. By proudly displaying the Accredited Dealer logo, we are demonstrating to the buying and selling public that they can transact with confidence from our business.

• First-hand knowledge of boating - Who can talk specifically about fishing, cruising and general boating. Ideally, Port Phillip Bay and Western Port Bay, maybe Gippsland Lakes, Bermagui, Eden (preferred, but not essential)
• Empathy and Understanding - Towards novice and first-time boaters re: Safety, General Concerns and Destination & Storage Questions
• Professional Approach - In dealing with customers whom are buying expensive boats as luxury toys.
• Appropriately Attired - When on duty in sutiable marine clothing and shoes.
