AI-Powered Niche Job Board
BoatJobBoard is a marine-only hiring platform: jobs and contract gigs for people who work on or around the water, free employer listings, optional paid tools, and a live Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for AI agents.
What BoatJobBoard is
Not a general job site with a fishing filter. Every category, listing, and workflow is built for maritime careers — commercial fishing, offshore, yacht crew, boatbuilding, marinas, and related trades — plus short-term marine project work (gigs).
Marine jobs
1,100+ active listings across 16+ sectors. Browse, filter, and apply on-site or via MCP.
Contract gigs
Scoped projects with proposals, awards, and completion — surveys, refits, seasonal cover, and more.
Employers & seekers
Free job posts for approved companies. Seekers get free profiles; Advanced adds AutoMatch and insights.
AI & MCP
Agents search, apply, post, and manage gigs through boatjobboard.com/api/mcp with scoped API keys.
