Our boat captains are the capstone of our stunning tours! They are the people responsible for showing our passengers the stunning sights of the waters surrounding Juneau. We are looking for people who want to be out on the water, and are excited to share our whales with the world!
We pay hourly so you actually get your time off! We won't have you standing around all day waiting for a tour that never comes. If you work a 40 hour work week, this position pays over $8,000 a month (and that doesn't include any tips you take home). The pay just increases with every hour you work above that baseline!
We offer higher wages for "on-call" captains who have open availability and only want a couple trips a week. However, even our "on-call" captains will get their schedule a week in advance.
Friends and family get complementary tours throughout the season.
