About Jobe Sports
In the world of watersports, Jobe Sports is a household name. Recreational sailors and crews of the world's largest superyachts alike are fans of the brand's clothing, kayaks, sea scooters, and numerous other products, all of which are designed in-house. Through an extensive network of distributors and dedicated dealers in the Benelux, Germany, Austria, France, Spain, Italy, and Great Britain, the products reach more than seventy countries. The company's origins lie with American water skier Jeff Jobe, who began developing plastic skis in 1974. In 2008, two Dutch watersports enthusiasts acquired the company from him outright.
Sustainable growth ambitions
Since April 2022, Jobe has been part of Alliance Marine Group, a group of twenty maritime companies backed by French PE investor LBO France. Jobe is a healthy business: a turnover of around twenty million euros, a strong EBITDA, and an agile PE investor create ample opportunities for further growth. The market is moving in the right direction. Electric products are the fastest-growing category: sea scooters are popular, as are e-foils and wake foils. At the same time, Jobe is expanding its dealer-direct model into new European markets and responding to the shift from ownership to rental. Jobe is building this growth responsibly, with concrete sustainability ambitions. The brand has partnered with the Dutch CleanUp Tour and aims to bring its first product made from recycled materials to market in 2029.
Working at Jobe
The family culture that helped Jobe grow is something the company has deliberately held on to. Even after joining Alliance Marine Group and now as one of the world's largest watersports brands, a warm and engaged atmosphere remains. At the head office in Heerewaarden in the Gelderland region, 45 colleagues work closely together, driven by seven core values: fun, accessible, innovative, enthusiastic, young, excellent, and international. These core values form the foundation of the so-called Jobe Brand Code, which has been embraced and championed by employees for ten years.
