Summary

We are looking for a 1st Mate/Dive Master. Must be excellent in driving big tenders and fishing knowledge would be a plus. Your main duties will be to keep the exterior and toys in great shape including all the dive equipment. You will take guests out diving when we get guests who want to dive. We are looking for someone with minimum a Yacht Master, Dive Masters and 1 - 2 years solid experience on charter boats of similar size. We are a busy charter boat with 8 more charters already booked for the rest of the year, and we are starting to book for next year as well. We average 20 - 22% of the charter rates in tips and those are shared equally between the 5 crew.

Our boat is an older girl and far from the fancy new boats out there, but she is kept in good shape and is safe. We are 5 crew onboard and we are like family to each other. 3 off us have worked together on other boats in the past. We work hard, but we also love to have fun together in our off time.

We are looking for someone who is a real team player, because we like to have fun with our guests. We do theme nights and crew sometimes have to dress up, so you need to be able to have fun with it. At night, you and the captain will help the chef washing dishes while the stews are doing house keeping and service, as it is on most boats. We are looking for someone who will not be sulking if they have to help out somewhere, as the stews always help out on deck when needed.

Please do not apply for this position if you do not have the relevant diving certifications.
