  • Hands-on training in vessel operations and command.
  • Financial assistance toward the required coursework to obtain your Captain's License when you're eligible.
  • A clear pathway to promotion as our fleet expands.

What We're Looking For

  • Current USCG License (appropriate for First Mate duties).
  • TWIC Card (or ability to obtain one if required).
  • Strong leadership and communication skills.
  • Excellent judgment and commitment to safety.
  • Professional, guest-focused attitude.
  • Desire to build a long-term career on the water and advance into a Captain role.

Why Join Nashville Riverboats?
