About The Position

As a Licensed Deckhand with Lindblad Expeditions, you'll do more than maintain ship operations—you’ll help guide guests through some of the most remote and breathtaking places on Earth. A key part of your role involves operating Zodiacs to safely transport guests between ship and shore, offering them a front-row seat to glaciers, wildlife, and rugged coastlines. Whether navigating the inlets of Southeast Alaska or exploring the warm waters of Baja, you’ll be an essential part of delivering our signature expedition experience. This position is ideal for someone with a passion for the sea, strong seamanship, and a desire to interact with guests in dynamic, outdoor settings. You’ll work as part of a close-knit Deck team on board one of our U.S.-flagged vessels, where safety, teamwork, and curiosity are always top priorities. If you’re ready to combine your maritime skills with unforgettable adventures, we’d love to have you aboard.
