In the summer, the education/passenger 40’ power cat Admiral Jack switches from a floating classroom to a passenger vessel for hire in Port Townsend. The Northwest Maritime Center (NWMC) seeks a Captain with excellent vessel handling skills and the ability to work well with the public to lead the small crew aboard Admiral Jack. Tours take place on the Port Townsend Bay Friday through Sunday, June through August.
We love working with team members who:

GENERAL OPERATIONS
While this position’s primary responsibility is to ensure the safe operations of Admiral Jack, the Captain, will work as part of the NWMC team to ensure smooth operations for the organization as a whole.
