Local Deckhand Wanted to Work on the Yarra River

A unique opportunity has arisen for a local deckhand to join our team, working onboard our fleet of vessels cruising the picturesque Yarra River in Melbourne.

This role is perfect for someone who loves being on the water and enjoys interacting with customers from all around the world. As a member of our crew, you will be responsible for setting up and packing down vessels, general cleaning and maintenance, checking tickets and assisting guests, selling food and drinks from our snack bar, and refueling and shutting down vessels at the end of operations.

To be successful in this role, you must be available for weekend and evening shifts, be local to Melbourne, and hold a RSA (Responsible Service of Alcohol) certificate or be willing to obtain one. Previous boating or maintenance experience is an advantage, but not essential. A friendly, customer-focused attitude and the ability to work well in a team are key requirements.

In return for your hard work and dedication, you will enjoy a range of benefits including 25-30 hours a week with more as the season gets busier, full training provided across multiple vessels, opportunities to assist the captain and even drive boats on the Yarra, and pathway support if you're keen to transition into becoming a qualified Master.

If you're reliable, love working with people, and want a unique job that offers a sense of adventure and camaraderie, then this could be the ideal opportunity for you.

We're looking for someone who is eager to learn, takes pride in their work, and is passionate about delivering exceptional customer service. If you think you have what it takes to thrive in this exciting role, we'd love to hear from you.
