Love being outdoors? Love the water? Don't want to work in a stuffy environment? Do you enjoy people & team work? We may have the perfect summer job for you!
We are looking for outgoing, friendly staff of all ages to fill our summer job positions April through mid-October (our operation is weather permitting). Hours will vary as will the schedule. We look for flexibility in our staff and we try to be as flexible as we can in scheduling. We realize some students may not be able to work the entire 7 months due to school, but don't hesitate to apply. Our busiest time is Memorial Day - Labor Day. Don't know much about boating? No worries, We will teach you!
Hiring Closed for 2023
We have three locations in the busiest summer months and you may be scheduled to work at any of those locations. Review our website to learn more about us.
Although we are a seasonal business we have enjoyed getting to know our staff, making lifetime friends and watching them grow and develop not only with us, but in their careers. Many of our staff have returned to work with us year after year or just return to visit. Many friendships have been made within the team.....
