  • A valid First Aid Certificate
  • Confident boat handling skills in varying weather and sea conditions
  • Excellent communication and people skills ~ you’ll be a key part of the guest experience
  • A love for marine life and the environment
  • Ability to work weekends, public holidays, and over the busy summer season
  • A calm, professional attitude with a strong focus on safety


Desirable but not essential:

  • Marine wildlife or eco-tourism experience


What We Offer:

  • A friendly, close-knit team in a supportive environment

  • The opportunity to be part of a business with genuine conservation values


If you’re a capable and enthusiastic skipper who wants to work on the water and make a difference, we’d love to hear from you.
