SalaryAbout us
Boston Water Taxi is a rapidly expanding water transportation and charter boat company in Boston, MA. Our culture is fast-paced and fun with the ultimate goal of providing our customers with a safe and memorable experience aboard.
We offer flexible schedules and a diverse working environment. We provide the opportunity for professional growth and most importantly, we do all of our promotion from within! Our rapid growth has led to the openings we are looking to fill.
Great employees are the foundation of any successful business. We acknowledge and actively foster this. We reimburse the cost of any professional upgrades our employees pursue, and will prioritize any sea time you need. With vessels ranging in size from 7-100 Tons, we have plenty of opportunity! We know the value and insight that comes with earning and maintaining your MMC, and from working out on the water. Our management team actively solicits employee input on decisions being made for this reason, and our culture reflects this team spirit.
Companies pitching themselves as "team environments" has become so commonplace now as to become trite. Do your due diligence about this opportunity. Speak with our employees, read our online reviews. We have confidence you will see we are different from other companies on the Harbor, and maybe exactly what you are looking for!
Our work environment includes:
- Growth opportunities
- Casual work attire
- On-the-job training

Our Water Taxi Captain positions offer a unique and every changing workload. You would independently be responsible for ferrying passengers to and from our stops within the inner Boston Harbor. Passenger demand dictates the daily route, and the ideal candidate would quickly learn to maximize the efficiency of the trips.
We are also looking for Captains for our Tiki Boats. This is a very specialized role for a specific type of individual. We will require a Captain that is very friendly, outgoing and adapts easily to different groups. The days are long with very little downtime between trips. The ideal candidate will be able to power through a long day with consistent energy and enthusiasm. The Tiki Boats operate public and private charters around Boston Harbor on a set route. The Captain will work with a Mate on these vessels.
The right candidate can elect to do one or both of these available opportunities.
