Captain

If you love being around people and boats, then this job is for you! Our captains are responsible for ensuring the safety of the vessel, passengers and crew. While we expect our captains to have a professional demeanor, they must also be willing to laugh, engage in conversation, and explain what they're doing while running the boat. During our public cruises, captains present our prepared narration materials in an entertaining and informative manner. The captain, along with the crew, will be responsible for preparing the boat before the cruise and cleaning it afterwards. Captains are the first point of contact with our customers. They identify maintenance and safety issues and take steps to report and correct them. Captains assist with pre and post-season maintenance; fueling, cleaning and other maintenance projects when there is downtime. Captains must know and comply with all company policies and procedures regarding safety, security and emergencies. Captains can expect to work between 10 and 35 hours per week depending on their availability and our cruise schedule.
