There’s no fee to use this website. It's free to the public. You don’t have
to log in or register. You don’t have to buy a book or CD from us. We
don't sell "insider secrets" of the ferry industry...we just plain and
simple like the idea that there's a resource to help hard working people
looking for work aboard ferries or water taxies. We've set up links that
go to companies running ferry, water taxi, shuttle and commuter vessel
operations. When you visit ferry boat websites, some days you might
not find nothing. Ten days later, you might see an opening for a
deckhand, mate or chief engineer.

Wages and benefits for ferry jobs will vary with the operators. Ferry
boat job prospects will depend on the grade of your Coast Guard
license, whether you hold endorsements, and familiarity with a
particular body of water for captain and mate position candidates. For
chief engineers, designated duty engineers (DDEs), oilers, QMEDs
(qualified members of the engine department) or other marine
engineering position, your familiarity with a particular diesel propulsion
plant, such as Caterpillar, General Motors or Fairbanks Morse can be
an asset. Naturally your level of experience, your geographic location or
willingness to relocate will be important factors.
Ferry, water taxi, shuttle and commuter boat companies regularly look
for captains, mates, able seamen, deckhands, chief engineers,
assistant engineers, QMED (qualified members of the engine
department), oilers and wipers. Ferry, water taxi, shuttle and commuter
boat companies also search for shoreside positions such as ticket
sales (the positions may be title reservation agent, maintenance
personnel, human resources people, purchasing agents,
bookkeepers, and clerical help. The inventory of shoreside positions
can vary with the size of the ferry company.
Salaries will depend on vessel size, company policies, hours per week
of work, and regularity of work. Salary will also depend on the grade of
Coast Guard license, limits of tonnage, limits of horsepower, and
possibly, endorsements. Salary and wage information for different
geographic areas can be obtained from the regional offices of state
departments of labor, listed below. Aside from salary and wage
information, these offices may be able to provide other valuable
information and resources.
Good luck!
