Qualified Instructors Wanted - We're looking for qualified instructors to teach all levels of US Sailing & Powerboating certification on Florida's sunny Gulf Coast. Send your resume with experience to Chief Operations Manager Bryce Jackson, [email protected].

Salesperson Wanted - Are you a great salesperson with attention to detail, amazing phone skills, and customer service? We respond to a boatload of inquiries each week. Contact Sales Manager Wendy Bishop, [email protected].
