Couple of dorks on the boat and somehow still getting you where you need to go 😂

Mark’s got the thermos in full “manual transmission” mode, Jenny’s behind the camera making acceleration noises like it helps… and cruising the islands like total professionals. 😉

This is what happens when you mix boats, coffee, and just enough chaos.

Book your ride — we’ll get you there… 😎🌊

If you can juggle texts, tides, last-minute changes, and the occasional “where exactly is the dock?” phone call… you might be our person.

🌊 Mid-June → early September
⏰ 15–20 hrs/week (yes, weekends)
💻 Mostly remote + some dockside shifts
💵 $22/hr

You’ll be coordinating trips, talking to customers, working with captains, and helping keep everything running smoothly.

Must have:
✔️ Strong communication
✔️ Organized brain
✔️ Sense of humor (non-negotiable)
✔️ Ability to roll with chaos

Sound like your kind of summer?

Let’s give you something to squawk about 🐦 😉
Gliding, diving, calling—our last bird tour was full-on spring energy.

Out here, it’s never quiet… and that’s the best part.
