What is marine hospitality?

Marine hospitality refers to the services and experiences provided to guests on ships, yachts, cruise liners, and other marine vessels. Professionals in this field ensure that passengers receive high-quality food, accommodations, entertainment, and customer service while at sea. The roles can include positions such as stewards, chefs, guest service agents, and event coordinators, all dedicated to creating a comfortable and enjoyable onboard environment. Marine hospitality is a key part of the maritime tourism and cruise industry, contributing significantly to guest satisfaction and overall travel experience.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in marine hospitality, and why are they important?

To thrive in Marine Hospitality, you need a background in hospitality management, customer service, and safety procedures, often supported by relevant certifications such as STCW (Standards of Training, Certification, and Watchkeeping) and experience working on vessels. Familiarity with reservation systems, point-of-sale (POS) software, and marine safety equipment is typical. Exceptional interpersonal skills, adaptability, and teamwork set individuals apart in this field. These skills are crucial for ensuring passenger satisfaction, operational efficiency, and safety while working in the unique environment of marine vessels.

What are some common challenges faced by professionals working in marine hospitality, and how can they be managed?

Marine hospitality professionals often work in dynamic environments aboard ships or yachts, where adapting to changing weather, limited space, and diverse guest needs are common challenges. Managing these requires strong communication skills, teamwork, and flexibility. Building rapport quickly with guests and crew, maintaining high service standards, and being well-versed in safety protocols are essential for success. Many marine hospitality teams conduct regular briefings and training to ensure everyone is prepared for unexpected situations, fostering a supportive environment for both personal and professional growth.

AspectMarine HospitalityMarine Deckhand
Required CertificationsSTCW Basic Safety, Hospitality CertificationsSTCW Basic Safety, Deckhand Certifications

In contrast, Marine Deckhands handle deck maintenance, safety, and navigation support. Both roles require safety certifications, but Marine Hospitality emphasizes customer service skills, while Marine Deckhands focus on technical and safety tasks. Understanding these differences helps job seekers find roles aligned with their skills and career goals in the maritime industry.

Job description

ABOUT RED HOSPITALITY & LEISURE
RED Hospitality & Leisure (Experience RED) is a multi-vertical marine and hospitality operator headquartered in the U.S. Virgin Islands. We run charter operations, ferry services, transportation, destination management (DMC), and concession services across St. Thomas and St. John in partnership with properties including the Westin St. John, Ritz-Carlton St. Thomas, Frenchman's Reef, and Hampton by Hilton.
Our fleet spans offshore catamarans, high-speed ferries, center consoles, and personal watercraft - operating across two islands and multiple partner destinations year-round. We are a fast-moving, operationally intensive company and we build careers for people who thrive in dynamic marine environments.
THE ROLE
We are seeking an experienced Mobile Marine Technician to serve as a roving fleet-support specialist across our multi-destination operations. This is a hands-on, independent role requiring strong diagnostic and repair skills on both inboard diesel and outboard gasoline powerplants, as well as supporting systems including electrical, hydraulics, and drivetrain components.
You will rotate between deployment locations - St. Thomas USVI, St. John USVI, Turks & Caicos, and Key West, FL - on a structured 10-days-on / 5-days-off schedule. Travel, accommodations, and per diem are provided while on deployment.
SCHEDULE & DEPLOYMENT STRUCTURE
Rotation: 10 consecutive days on assignment / 5 days off
Deployment Locations: St. Thomas USVI, St. John USVI, Turks & Caicos, Key West FL
Travel: Flights, ground transfers, and lodging provided during all on-rotation periods
Per Diem: Provided for meals and incidentals while on deployment
Candidates must be based within commuting distance of a qualifying home airport (see Residency & Travel Requirements below). RED will coordinate all travel logistics - your responsibility is to be ready to fly on rotation start dates.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
  • Diagnose and repair inboard diesel engines across catamaran, ferry, and center console hull types
  • Diagnose and repair outboard gasoline engines (primarily Yamaha, Mercury, and Suzuki platforms)
  • Perform scheduled preventive maintenance, fluid services, impeller replacements, and zincs
  • Troubleshoot and repair marine electrical systems, bilge systems, and instrumentation
  • Conduct pre-season and post-season commissioning/decommissioning across fleet
  • Coordinate parts procurement, maintain parts inventory logs, and manage vendor relationships on-site
  • Support haul-out coordination and work with boatyard partners as needed
  • Document all service work in maintenance logs; update fleet status reports daily
  • Communicate proactively with on-site operations managers and coordinate with shore-based fleet management
  • Maintain a safe, organized mobile work environment; comply with all OSHA and marine safety standards
  • Respond to urgent vessel breakdowns and service calls during deployment windows

PASSPORT & INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL REQUIREMENTS
This position involves regular international travel. Candidates must meet all of the following requirements before their first deployment and maintain them throughout employment:
Required Travel Documentation
  • Valid U.S. passport (or equivalent for eligible non-U.S. nationals) - required before start date
  • Passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond each travel date at all times
  • Turks & Caicos (British Overseas Territory): Entry via valid passport; U.S. citizens do not require a visa for stays under 90 days
  • Key West, FL: Domestic travel - no passport required, but passport is the recommended ID for all company air travel
  • St. Thomas & St. John USVI: U.S. territory - U.S. citizens do not need a passport, but a passport is strongly recommended for seamless travel across all rotation destinations
  • Any required visas, work permits, or entry documentation for non-U.S. nationals must be obtained and maintained at the candidate's own responsibility
  • Candidates must not have travel restrictions (outstanding warrants, immigration holds, or criminal history) that would prevent entry into any deployment destination

RED Hospitality & Leisure will not sponsor international work visas. All candidates must be independently authorized to work in the United States and to enter all deployment destinations without restriction.
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
  • Minimum 5 years hands-on experience as a marine technician or diesel mechanic in a commercial or charter environment
  • Demonstrated proficiency with inboard diesel systems (Yanmar, Volvo Penta, Cummins, or equivalent)
  • Demonstrated proficiency with outboard gasoline engines (Yamaha, Mercury, Honda, Suzuki, or equivalent)
  • Strong working knowledge of 12V/24V marine electrical systems
  • Ability to work independently with minimal supervision across remote locations
  • Valid U.S. driver's license
  • Legal authorization to work in the United States (USCIS work authorization required - no exceptions)
  • Valid passport with at least 6 months validity; must be eligible to enter all deployment destinations without restriction
  • Physically capable of working in marine environments: lifting 50+ lbs, working in confined engine compartments, exposure to heat and humidity
  • Must reside near a qualifying home airport with year-round direct service to all deployment destinations (see below)

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
  • ABYC Marine Technician certification (Diesel, Electrical, or Gasoline)
  • Yamaha and/or Mercury factory-certified technician
  • Experience with Axopar, Leopard, or similar catamaran/center console platforms
  • Familiarity with FareHarbor, marine dispatch systems, or fleet tracking tools
  • USCG Captain's License (OUPV or higher) a strong plus but not required
  • Prior experience working with charter or resort-based marine operations
  • Bilingual (English/Spanish) a plus given our operating environment

RESIDENCY & TRAVEL REQUIREMENTS

  • St. Thomas, USVI (STT - Cyril E. King Airport)
