Ride the Ducks is always looking for people with great attitudes, boating experience and a flair for entertainment to be a Duck Captain. All our Captains have at least a 25-ton USCG Master's License and a Class C commercial driver's license.

We have a paid training program through which you can obtain both of these licenses, but it requires that you have a significant amount of boating experience.

Documentation can be in the form of a USCG Sea Service form (available from the USCG here), a letter from the boat owner, or a letter from a former employer.

You must have a valid driver's license; CDL is helpful. Marine and/or heavy-duty truck experience is also beneficial. Wages depend on experience. Medical, dental and 401(k) benefits available.
