About Portland Explorer
Portland Explorer offers guided land and sea tours that bring Portland’s coast, history, and local flavor to life. From lighthouses and working waterfront stories to food, drink, and Casco Bay views, our goal is simple: create memorable, easy, and genuinely fun experiences for every guest.
We’re growing our boat tour team and looking for people who enjoy being outside, engaging with others, and being part of a tight, high-energy crew.
What This Role Is
This is not just a deckhand position—it’s part host, part storyteller, part safety lead.
You’ll work alongside the captain to ensure a smooth and safe operation while also leading guests through an engaging, relaxed, and informative experience on the water. If you enjoy talking to people, being on the ocean, and creating a great atmosphere, this is a role where you’ll thrive.

What a Great Day Looks Like
You help a full boat of guests feel welcome within minutes of boarding, deliver a tour that’s informative without feeling scripted, keep things running smoothly alongside the captain, and send people off saying, “That was one of the highlights of our trip.”
If you enjoy being on the water, working with good people, and creating experiences guests actually remember—this is a great fit.
