Purser

Come work for one of Hawai’i’s Best Places to Work in 2024!

Are you great with people, passionate about the environment and seeking a relaxed, fun workplace? If so, we’d love to hear from you!

PacWhale Eco-Adventures is looking for Pursers for our upcoming season.

You'll work a variety of ecotours out of Ma'alaea and/or Lahaina harbor, promoting the mission of our non-profit parent organization.

As a Purser with PacWhale Eco-Adventures, you will:

• Work as a deckhand, assisting in the safe navigation and proper operations of the vessel, ensuring a safe environment for all passengers
• Prepare, display and serve food and beverages
• Monitor and replenish supply inventories
• Monitor and reconcile your bank for saleable items
• Clean vessels

Our ideal applicant will have a high school diploma or GED, experience in food service, retail sales or any type of customer service, and have commercial boating experience (or know they won't get seasick). This is a physically demanding job. Already living on-island and being a strong swimmer who is able to work long days in a hot/humid/wet environment aboard a moving vessel at sea will set you apart.

This is an hourly, non-exempt, full-time position with pay from $16.20/hr., based on skills/experience, plus tips and commission.

Applicants must be authorized to work in the U.S. We are unable to sponsor work visas for this position.

We provide a thorough training program, free uniforms, health insurance and some amazing perks.

The work you do helps support the mission of Pacific Whale Foundation, a 501(c)(3), by working to protect the ocean through science and advocacy and inspire environmental stewardship.

Come be part of something bigger!
