APPLY TODAY

Join our team as a Pontoon Captain, where you’ll navigate pontoons, ensure passenger safety, maintain the vessel in top condition, provide engaging tours/info, and manage onboard equipment. Leadership roles are available for those ready to oversee crew activities and assist in coordinating special events.

 

Pay: $15-18 per hour starting + tips (tiered raises in pay after you hit milestone #s of trips).
Hours: You will set your own availability dates two weeks in advance. Once that availability is put into our system, customers can book a captained service and you’ll be notified of the booking and the manifest information.

Qualifications

  • Enthusiasm, sense of humor, patience

  • Reliable and Punctual (these are CORE VALUES of our business. Zero tolerance for tardiness when customers are waiting on you).

  • Comfortable interacting with people

  • Enjoy being around water

  • Ability to accept supervision and guidance

  • Willingness to learn and improve your watercraft skills (just because you have been boating all your life, doesn’t mean you know everything. Be humble).

  • Must have open availability during the summer (you set your own availability. The more available you are, the more you can make).

Benefits

  • Pay $15-18 per hour starting wage including tips. After a certain amount of trips captained, you’ll be bumped up.

  • Opportunity to enjoy working on a boat on Lake Wylie. Beats an office any day.

  • Large Discount on using the pontoon fleet when a vessel is not being rented.

  • Benefits include unlimited access to paddle crafts and discounts for friends and family.

Captaining

Pontoon Boat Captain: For our captains we are looking for individuals who have experience with powered watercraft especially pontoons. Additional responsibilities may include educating customers on the ins and outs of operating a pontoon boat through our Driving Lesson programs, and assisting with preparing the pontoons for each new customer.
