At Water Taxi, deckhands will work in a variety of roles. Our deckhands are primarily responsible for the safety of their passengers followed by providing them an entertaining and enjoyable day on the water. Deckhands learn how to safely board and disembark passengers, secure their vessel to the dock, fight fires and rescue a man-overboard. During your day, you will be responsible for ticketing passengers, selling drinks and entertaining passengers between stops.

Water Taxi employs a diverse range of skill sets to make up our engineering team, including diesel mechanics, electrical engineers and fiberglass specialists. Most of our work is done in-house with little use of outside contractors. You will be able to use your existing skills – and learn new ones – while tackling a variety of projects. One day, you might rebuild an engine or repair a fiberglass hull. Our engineers even do complete boat overhauls.

At Water Taxi, engineers are responsible for the mechanical, electrical and cosmetic upkeep of Water Taxi’s fleet of 13 vessels and dock facilities. We offer specialized positions such as diesel mechanics, fiberglass and paint specialists, electrical engineers and detailers, in addition to those who offer a broader range of skills.

Water Taxi employs both in and out-of-office customer service representatives. Feel more comfortable inside an office? We have that.

At Water Taxi, customer service representatives are the first point of contact for our guests and assist passengers in planning their day. Customer service representatives assist in office clerical work, answer general questions about Water Taxi service and provide guests with recommendations to make the most of their day in Fort Lauderdale and Hollywood and on the water.
