**This is NOT a cruisy way to get free fishing trips.**
In the nicest possible way, we aren't particularly interested in how many fish you've caught, what your biggest fish was, or how many times you've been offshore. **We've heard the fish stories. 😂**
We are looking for someone who wants to work and become a professional, reliable and highly capable deckhand.
We are prepared to put the time and effort into the right person and train you in our systems and operation so you can become the best possible deckhand you can be.
🎣 What does the job involve?
As our Deckhand, you will not be fishing. Your job is to look after the customers and the deck.
Duties will include:
• Bait management
• Unhooking fish
• Tying rigs
• Serving food and drinks
• Cleaning and maintaining the vessel
• Fish counting and measuring
• Marking fish
• Ganging hooks
• Tackle preparation
• Re-spooling reels
• Pre-trip preparation
• Post-trip wash down and pack-up
• Assisting the skipper and keeping the day running smoothly
We operate 7 days a week, weather and passenger numbers permitting, with our busiest days generally being **Thursday through Sunday**.
A full-time position is available for the right person.
If you're reliable, switched-on, physically capable and genuinely want to learn the charter fishing industry, we'd love to hear from you.
