Full Job Description

Position: Experienced Deckhand / Mate
Schedule: Part-Time / Event & Charter Based, with potential for additional hours

About the Position

Our company is seeking an experienced, dependable Deckhand / Mate to join the crew aboard a large 125' passenger yacht operating private charters, corporate events, weddings, and ticketed cruises in Jacksonville.

This is not an entry-level deckhand position. We are looking for someone who already understands vessel operations and is confident handling lines during docking, departure, arrival, and maneuvering operations.

The ideal candidate is safety-conscious, physically capable, professional around guests, and able to anticipate what needs to be done without constant direction.

Responsibilities

Safely and confidently handle dock lines, spring lines, breast lines, and fenders
Assist Captain with docking, undocking, departures, arrivals, and vessel maneuvering
Properly secure the vessel using appropriate knots and line-handling techniques
Maintain awareness of line tension and changing conditions during docking operations
Assist with deck operations before, during, and after cruises
Perform pre-departure and post-cruise deck checks
Maintain clean, organized, and guest-ready exterior deck areas
Assist with cleaning, washdowns, maintenance, and general vessel upkeep
Monitor guest safety while underway and assist with boarding and disembarking
Assist Captain and crew during emergency or safety procedures
Communicate clearly with the Captain and other crew members
Maintain a professional appearance and attitude around charter guests

Required Experience & Qualifications

Previous professional deckhand, mate, commercial vessel, tour boat, yacht, ferry, or similar marine experience required
Strong line-handling experience is essential
Must know basic maritime knots and proper vessel-securing procedures
Must be comfortable working around docks, pilings, cleats, moving vessels, and changing tides/current
Must understand and immediately follow Captain's commands during docking and vessel operations
Physically capable of lifting, pulling, carrying, bending, climbing stairs/ladders, and working on deck
Reliable transportation and dependable attendance
Ability to work evenings, weekends, holidays, and event-based schedules as needed
Professional demeanor and ability to work around guests in a hospitality environment
Must be safety-minded, alert, and able to remain calm under pressure

Preferred Qualifications

Documented maritime experience
CPR / First Aid certification preferred, but not required
Experience aboard passenger vessels or larger yachts
Knowledge of marine systems
Hospitality or charter-yacht experience
Must know lines

What We're Looking For

We want a crew member who knows boats and knows lines, someone who can step aboard, understand the Captain's direction, see what needs to happen during docking operations, and execute safely and efficiently.

Our vessel operates in a guest-facing environment, so professionalism is equally important. Our deck crew represents the vessel and Parent Company from the moment guests arrive at the dock until the vessel is secured after the cruise.

Experienced maritime candidates only, please.

To apply through Indeed, please submit your CV resume and a brief description of your boating/maritime experience, including the types and approximate sizes of vessels you have worked aboard.

Pay: $25.00 - $30.10 per hour

Work Location: In person
