From time to time we have crew positions available as our crew gain experience and pursue their Captain's license. The experienced crew are then promoted to First Mate. Most of our Master's began their Balckbeard's career as a dive instructor, cook or engineer on our boats.

We initially hire crew who are enthusiastic, hard-working and have the skills, knowledge and ability to perform in one of these entry level positions: cook, current scuba instructor, or engineer. Cooks/Chefs must be able to cook breakfast, lunch and dinner for 30 people. Dive instructors must be current in their certification with a recognized agency. Engineers must be mechanically inclined with mechanical experience. All the new crew run for a trial period as a deckhand. During this time new crew are trained in the boats emergency procedures, seamanship, mechanical systems and their specific job responsibilities to prepare them for their position.
