    Hello everybody,

    what training I need as a Yacht Broker? Do I need a license?

    Does anybody know a alternative for a "Business Assistant for Information Technology" and an "E-Business Junior Assistant" (experienced in Photoshop) in the yachting industry? (especially around Fort Lauderdale)

    Thanks in advance :)

    Licensing is required in Florida and California.

    For training I would suggest getting a job on a yacht and work your way up to captain, after 10- 12 years you will have some knowledge base.
    Then get a job at a department store in the complaint department so you will know how to deal with buyers and sellers.
    Then awhile as a plumber so you will know how to put up with a lot of bullsh**
    Working in a psychiatrists office would give you good training.
    Being a moderator at Yachtforums would get you used to long hours at no pay.

    Real advice would be to get a job at a new boat dealership and work your way up in knowledge and experience. Good luck.
