Bob Hoste, known casually by many in the marine industry as “Bob-O”, is a New Jersey coastal native and has worked in the boating world his entire life. Bob has captained both private yachts and corporate fishing boats, as well as a commercial vessel, fishing extensively along the East Coast and throughout the Bahamas.

Bob spent the majority of his sales career selling Hatteras luxury yachts, and during his time as President of Cardinal Yacht Sales, he was awarded “Salesman of the Year” three times, and “Distinguished Sales Achievement” awards from 1988 to 2008, as well as their “Top Gun” award in 1998 – recognizing the salesman who converted the most customers from another brand to a Hatteras owner.

In 2008, Bob joined Jarrett Bay Yacht Sales as a yacht broker and sales representative for Jarrett Bay Boatworks.

Combining Bob’s lifelong experiences, his broad knowledge of the marine sales and service industry and his fervor for fishing, give Bob a complete perspective of the business and determining his clients’ needs before, during and after the sale. Bob’s quick humor and extensive industry knowledge quickly earns him loyalty from his client base and most importantly a valued friend for life for his customers. Bob currently divides his time between the Outer Banks of North Carolina and his primary home in New Jersey where he resides with his wife, Jane. They have two adult sons.
