Our focus
Hire on the water without the noise
General job sites bury marine roles under unrelated listings. We built BoatJobBoard so employers can reach people who actually understand the industry — and so candidates can find work that matches their licenses, rotations, and trade skills in one place.
Marine-only focus
We don't try to be everything to everyone. Every listing, category, and workflow is built for people who work on or around the water — from deckhands and captains to marine techs, shipyard crews, and offshore teams.
Free job postings
Approved employers post unlimited jobs at no cost. Company profiles, applications, and notifications are included — so you can hire without a paywall on every listing.
Featured job boosts
When a role needs extra reach, boost a single listing for $49. Boosted jobs get top placement, a Featured badge, and homepage visibility for 30 days.
Marine gigs marketplace
Need project work done — a survey, refit, rigging job, or short contract? Post a gig for $49, receive proposals, award the work, and complete the project on-platform.
Jobs, gigs, and applications — accessible to AI agents
BoatJobBoard ships with a live Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. Search jobs and gigs, apply, submit proposals, post listings, and manage hiring from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any MCP-enabled agent — with scoped API keys for candidates and employers.

From commercial fishing and offshore to yacht crew, shipbuilding, marinas, and marine electronics — if the work happens on or for vessels, it belongs here.
