Seasonal positions available:

Captains In Training

Captains are responsible for all activity on the boat, including the safe operation of their boat and providing passenger safety and comfort. They are to instruct all LGCL employees working on the boat in the emergency and safety procedures. They are responsible for assigning crew duties and overseeing the activities of all crew members, wait staff, bartenders, etc. as well as outside vendors operating aboard LGCL boats. Other duties include coordinating cleaning efforts, checking engines, doing basic maintenance, piloting, keeping order, and giving the narrated tour. Duties vary from boat to boat and also if the shift is for a charter or public tour. Extensive prior boat driving experience required.

Bartender

LGCL bartenders are responsible for serving all items that are handled at the bar. They are responsible for inventory, cash receipts, and collection of all charges from wait staff and working out charges from charter groups with the Captain. The bartender is also responsible for cleaning the bar prior to and after each shift, operating it in a sanitary manner and properly stocking the bar.

Crew/Tour Guide

Crew/tour guide duties include cleaning, polishing brass, boat set-up, giving live narrated tours, keeping order on board, interacting with passengers and any other duties that arise. The duties of a crew/tour guide vary depending on whether the cruise is a private charter or a public tour. It is very important that all crew members, whether on a tour or charter, are visible to the customers at all times and are available to answer questions and assist in any way needed.

Wait Staff

The wait staff position with LGCL is very much like a banquet server since the food is catered. A member of our wait staff does work to set up, clean and prepare the boat for a meal cruise prior to serving food during the event, as well as clean up afterward. Wait staff also take on cocktailing duties to take drink orders during the cruise.

Ticket Seller

Our ticket sellers are our "front line" people who are our first link with our walk up business. It is extremely important that these people greet our customers with a smile, courtesy and efficiency. Ticket sellers answer many customer questions, do all ticket sales transactions and complete other office tasks that arise. Ticket sellers are responsible for counting out their cash drawer before and after their shift and communicating with the manager on duty if their drawer is off.

Office Staff

A reservationist spends the majority of their time on the phone taking reservations and giving information to customers who call. Reservationists must be extremely knowledgeable of tour schedules, prices, and all other aspects of the sales part of the business. Other duties include making informational signs/flyers, printing daily manifests, tickets and invoices, and checking in bus groups. Reservationists, like ticket sellers, are our first contact with the customers and are in a position to establish that special rapport between LGCL and its customers.

Dock Hand

Our staff of dock hands are responsible for a great number of duties including, but not limited to, selling gas to boating customers, assisting groups to the correct boat, doing inventory, keeping stock rooms in order, doing dishes, keeping dock area clean and uncluttered, assisting boat crews in set up or clean-up of boats, getting supplies for boat crews, and bagging ice. Dock hands must be able to work unsupervised and keep busy with assigned duties on a day-to-day basis. They must also be available to "pitch in" and help in any situation.
