While both boaters and marine deckhands work on vessels, boaters typically operate smaller, recreational boats and may not require extensive certifications. Marine deckhands work on larger, commercial or luxury vessels, often needing specific safety and maritime certifications. The roles differ mainly in scope, environment, and industry usage, but both involve hands-on vessel work and safety responsibilities.

What jobs can I do on a boat?

Boater jobs include roles such as deckhand, captain, marine engineer, or boat operator, involving tasks like navigation, maintenance, safety checks, and customer service. These positions often require relevant certifications, good communication skills, and knowledge of maritime safety protocols. Work environments vary from recreational vessels to commercial ships, with schedules depending on the type of operation.

Job description

US Coast Guard Auxiliary Mission Bay Flotilla serves the San Diego region, including Mission Bay and San Diego Bay. Our main activities include providing recreational boater education and vessel safety checks. We also work with local marine dealers and marinas to promote boater safety, and we participate in a variety of events around San Diego, which include boat shows, Fleet Week, and the Miramar Air Show. In addition, there are potential opportunities in marine safety and environmental protection.

This volunteer opportunity is aimed at recruiting new members for the Mission Bay flotilla. Once you are trained, there are many opportunities to volunteer alongside any of the flotillas, at a division, or even at the national level.

We currently have about 35 members and are looking to grow our membership. We hold monthly meetings at Marina Village, which provide an opportunity to learn more about the auxiliary and to fellowship with other members.

Watch the video below for an introduction to the range of volunteer opportunities within the US Coast Guard Auxiliary, and we hope you can join us at one of our monthly meetings.
