Job Details
Gastineau Guiding is looking to hire both full-time and part-time whale watching captains. 25-ton certification required and current first aid/cpr & physical. Captain one of our twelve custom-built North River Boats for various wilderness tours within the Juneau waters. Knowledge of marine maintenance and care is a plus. Must be flexible, outgoing and enjoy working with the public and being a part of a team environment. Full-time positions are 5-6 days per week. Part-Time or “On-Call” positions are also open.
WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR:
All Gastineau Guiding whale watching tours are fully guided, small group experiences, taking guests through the whale watching hot spots in the Juneau waters. Small groups of anywhere from 14-20 guests mean more communication, more personal attention.
We’re looking for strong communicators who can maintain a professional attitude and appearance. Captains are responsible for the overall safety and operation of our vessels. Captains will be accommodated with a Naturalist Guide, who will be doing the majority of talking while the captain is underway searching for wildlife activity. We are looking for Captains who can support their Naturalist Guides while also not taking over the show.
