Job Description

Now Hiring for Our 28th and Final Season!

Betty Lou Cruises Captains.

If you love being around people and boats, then this job is for you! Our captains are responsible for ensuring the safety of the vessel, passengers, and crew. While we expect our captains to have a professional demeanor, they must also be willing to laugh, engage in conversation, and explain what they're doing while running the boat. During our public cruises, captains present our prepared narration materials in an entertaining and informative manner. The captain, along with the crew, will be responsible for preparing the boat before the cruise and cleaning it afterwards.

Job Summary:

Captains are the first point of contact with our customers. They identify maintenance and safety issues and take steps to report and correct them. Captains assist with pre- and post-season maintenance; fueling, cleaning, and other maintenance projects when there is down time. Captains must know and comply with all company policies and procedures regarding safety, security, and emergencies. Captains can expect to work between 10 and 35 hours per week depending on their availability and our cruise schedule.

Qualifications:

  • We're looking for people with excellent interpersonal skills who can work both independently and as part of a team.
  • Captains should have solid experience operating small boats.
  • Successful applicants must be reliable and able to work in a fast-paced and sometimes stressful environment.
  • We expect careful attention to detail.
  • Captains will work a flexible schedule including nights, weekends, and holidays.
  • Familiarity and experience with Lake Mendota is a big plus. You must be fluent in English and be honest, dependable, and forthright.
  • You must hold a valid driver's license.
  • Captains must be able to complete an approved CPR/First Aid course and the Wisconsin DNR Boater Safety Course.

Compensation: Approx. $27 to $35+ per hour (including tips).
