OT captains job in Hawaii

General Discussion

So my real job is that I am a captain. I do yacht delivery but mostly run whale watching and Eco tourism boats up here. I am just throwing this out here bc I used to live in Hawaii and you always need a in. Does anybody know any companies looking for a captain during the winter and their whale season? Work is too slow here during the winter and I miss Hawaii. If so please hook up a sways brother. I can drive any size boat they got in Hawaii. I hold a 200 ton USCG masters.

Just a stab in the dark before I send out resume’s.

Thanks,

I'm trying to remember the name of one of the owners that is hands on, but I would suggest Trilogly on Maui.  Sail and power Cats.  Whale watching in the So. Maui area.  Maalaea and a snorkle run down to Molikini.  They also have a run to Lanai.  Lanai is pretty much an all day deal out of Lahaina.  I think they break for lunch at the beach on Lanai.  My daughter worked as a deckhand.  I'll come up with the name of a contact.  Been off Island a couple years so my memory is foggy.  I'll come up with it and PM you.  There also many others there on maui.  Some are better than others.  Trilogy is Family owned and top notch.  The Lahaina run is longer so people get tired of it after a season or two.

Thanks mcding! It’s looking like Maui I wanted to move to Kauai but it seems like less business.

Looking thru the classifieds on todays Garden Island  (Kauai) has this:

 

“Immediate opening for full time boat capt.  Diving exper. req’d email resumes and refs. to: george@fathomfive.com”

 

if you need a place to stay and a vehicle for a job interview here on Kauai, pm me.

I wil try to pull up a name for you by tonite.  Much more activity on Maui than Kauai.  A bunch of cruises etc..  There are dinner cruises around Lahaina, whale watching etc.   Way more than Kauai.  Which means if you take a job that you are not happy with there is always a nother possibiliy further down the dock.  Kauai is my favorite island but less opportunity for a captain.  Oahu boats consist mostly of fishing and dinner cruises on boats that are past their prime.  Maui is where it's at for a captain.
