Deckhand

The deckhand must possess a current basic first aid and CPR certification. 

We operate two boats at the lodge, a 44-foot Maxweld catamaran, and a 26-foot Hewescraft utility boat.

The deckhand is responsible for assisting the boat captains in the safe operation of our vessels, the maintenance of our boats, and the safe and professional interaction with our guests while conveying our company philosophy and values.

Our deckhand will work alongside the boat captains and naturalist guides to create magical experiences for our guests. We are heavily focused on the education and interpretation of the natural landscapes, abundant wildlife, geologic history, human history, cultural history, and much more through our adventure programming at the lodge.

All our employees are expected to contribute to some of the chores of daily life at the lodge. Unloading boats containing supplies and keeping common workspaces clean are just a few.

We are looking for a deckhand at Tutka Bay Lodge who can contribute to our guests' Alaska adventure, can work in a remote environment successfully, exhibit advanced professional skills, and take pride in a positive team attitude and contribution.  

The lodge is set at the entrance to a deep 9-mile fjord within a State Park and is located 25 minutes by boat south of the seaside community of Homer, Alaska. Imagine the fresh fish we get here!
