“When my summer plans fell apart, Irish Boat Shop was there to help me out and I could not be more grateful for that. I have had a great summer here, this was a unique opportunity to be up here that I know I won’t get again.  I enjoyed getting to help out in multiple areas of the business.  Spending a day helping out service, working with Angela to determine how Irish is going to run certain events, and chatting with Michael about his goals for the business were the most formative experiences of the internship.” – Phoebe Solms, Princeton University ‘21

“I came into Irish Boat Shop knowing nothing about the boating industry, but I have learned so much. Interning with this company has been an unforgettable and fantastic experience. My mentors have helped me push myself to grow both professionally and personally in a fun and ever-changing work environment. I highly recommend the retail management internship program to anyone who is independent, creative, and willing to learn.” – Jack Myers, Michigan State University ‘23

“The best part about this internship was the sheer amount of knowledge I attained. I was given the opportunity to explore an array of areas I was interested in. One moment I could be doing SEO research for the E-commerce site, and the next I was out in the yard observing a technician service boats. It was especially interesting to watch how individuals who took such different career paths came together to make all the pieces turn- and it was clear they all did so with a passion. The amount of trust I was given to work on my own did wonders for my confidence, adding to the great overall experience.” – Matt Sloyan, University of Wisconsin – Madison ‘21
