Our Water Taxi Captain positions offer a unique and every changing workload. You would independently be responsible for ferrying passengers to and from our stops within the inner Boston Harbor. Passenger demand dictates the daily route, and the ideal candidate would quickly learn to maximize the efficiency of the trips.

We are also looking for Captains for our Tiki Boats. This is a very specialized role for a specific type of individual. We will require a Captain that is very friendly, outgoing and adapts easily to different groups. The days are long with very little downtime between trips. The ideal candidate will be able to power through a long day with consistent energy and enthusiasm. The Tiki Boats operate public and private charters around Boston Harbor on a set route. The Captain will work with a Mate on these vessels.
