HELLO & WELCOME!

Paddle Pub Long Island is a fun and eco-friendly party boat that hosts two-hour leisure cruises and are seeking highly energetic, friendly, and outgoing party hosts/emcees to join our team! If you enjoy being on the water and the outdoors, are a self-starter, like to dance, laugh, and thrive in a dynamic environment, then this is the boat party for you!

At Paddle Pub Long Island, our mission is to bring people together in a new playful green way that allows them to experience their local waterways like never before. We are searching for candidates who not only possess the ability to create unforgettable experiences for our guests but also those who align with our core values of believing in practicing safety first, the importance of integrity, team camaraderie, and cultivating a fun atmosphere.

This position offers invaluable learning experiences in various domains including management, entrepreneurship, problem-solving, critical thinking, sales, customer service, public speaking, social skills, hospitality, communication, and continuously stepping out of your comfort zone. We believe in providing our team members with the tools they need to thrive not only in their role but also in their future endeavors.

Paddle Pub has been expanding every year to new locations, showcasing our commitment to growth and innovation. Joining our team is not just a job; it's a chance to be part of a dynamic company that fosters personal and professional development.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

In this role, you'll be the heart and soul of our boat excursions, solely responsible for creating unforgettable experiences for our guests. You'll engage with all 26 passengers, fostering connections, ensuring their safety, and providing exceptional hospitality. Your duties will include capturing memorable moments through pics/videos, initiating and encouraging guests to dance and participate in games, actively queueing songs of different genres throughout the experience, and igniting a fun and lively atmosphere.

You will also be responsible for cleaning the boat top to bottom prior to departure, checking in guests, communicating with the guests, Captain, and management about any issues, and cleaning the boat after each trip.

This is an active role, you are expected to be constantly interacting with the guests, not just as a host/emcee of their experience but being a part of their group and celebrations!

No previous boating experience is required, as the necessary boat knowledge will be incorporated into our training process. You must be able to lift/carry 50lbs (ex: coolers). You need high energy and must be comfortable being in close proximity to people, as you will be constantly moving around a moving vessel and find yourself in close quarters. You must be comfortable working in an outdoor setting exposed to the elements, as we sail rain or shine.

Candidates with sales experience, management, serving, bartending, hospitality, real estate, or any other experience engaging with different cultures, age demographics, and personalities are all encouraged to apply!

EARNINGS & HOURS:

Hosts will be paid a set amount per hour plus large tips (averaging a minimum of $30-$50 per hour total take-home pay). This is primarily a part-time position. There are unique circumstances for the highest caliber performers to earn full-time work, given their availability and consistency. However, part-time hours should be expected when applying.
