Boat Captain

Boat Charter Captain

Get paid $25-$35/hr (depending on experience and vessel assigned) plus any tips to drive people around on the water on Lake Lewisville. Most of our captains make anywhere between $30-$40/hr after tips on average. Both weekend and full time options available. We are looking for individuals with boating experience who can take customers swimming, tubing, to party cove, and show them a good time on Lake Lewisville. We have tritoon boats, double decker tritoon boats with waterslides and Yachts.

Requirements:

• Consistently work either weekends only OR full time throughout the spring/fall/summer months weekends and weekdays
• Our best captains are available every weekend in the summer months May-September including holidays, and most importantly June-August (peak summer season). We had 30 trips in April and 30 trips in October so working those months as well is still definitely needed for the highest achieving captains
• Weekends are a huge chunk of our business so the ideal candidates can work almost every weekend in the summer (Saturday and Sunday)
• We are also needing one captain to work every other weekend and be on rotation on one of our vessels
• We also have an opening for a position to work every Sunday
• Be able to work longer shifts on the weekends up to 12-14 hours, generally 5-12 hour shifts depending on how busy we are. Peak summer months Saturdays are usually 12 hour shifts (trips 9:30am-9:30pm) and Sundays 6-12 hour shifts
• Weekend shifts are always longer for the busiest 3-4 months and generally 5-12 hour shifts in the spring and fall. We also do several trips throughout the off season for those captains willing and available
• All of the vessels have bimini tops to provide you with shade
• We recommend captains bring small coolers with plenty of drinks, snacks and sunscreen
• Have some boating experience or operated a boat before
• We can teach you everything confidently, but it is preferred that you have at least some experience with boats or at the least an interest in them, this will make the learning process easier
• Must be personable, as a big part of the job is interacting with customers
• Must be authoritative when necessary to make sure customers are following the rules at all times for their own safety
• Have completed the Texas Boater Safety Course OR be willing to do so, it takes about 8 hours to complete but can be split up into chunks. We will pay the fee for you to take this
• Must be 21 and able to lift a 20-30lb anchor
• Must be able to use their mobile device to download our app that organizes the trips and has important trip documents and information
• Must take safety extremely seriously as we expect all of our captains to prioritize safety at all times as this is the most important responsibility
• This is a unique job that can be a lot of fun. As long as our captains put customer safety first at all times we want them to have a good time with the customers and show them a great, safe time on the lake.

Salaried position to help with both aspects of our business, the boat charter side, all mechanical work (oil change, impeller changes, other fixes etc) as well as our boat dealership side of the business that is growing. Lower position starting at 40k-50k annually with benefits (year round). Higher position starting at 60k-75k with benefits (year round). For the boat dealership it would be helping to purchase boats, lake test them, fix small things on them and get them ready to sell

Important note: Our business number is dedicated to taking customer calls, please do not call, You can send a follow up email if you would like and we will get back to you asap. We'll be reaching out to candidates we think are a good fit.
