Master V Skipper

We’re looking for a skilled, guest-focused skipper to lead 4 & 6 day live-aboard tours on the Ningaloo Reef aboard Shore Thing — our 51ft luxury catamaran based in Coral Bay, Western Australia.

You’ll be responsible for safe navigation, crew leadership, guest experience, and vessel maintenance — all while sharing the reef’s magic through snorkel and dive adventures. With a trip-on/trip-off roster (possible for DIDO from Exmouth), you’ll have a lifestyle that allows time to enjoy Ningaloo yourself.

You bring:

• Master V qualification + skippering experience on sailing vessels
• Coxswain or MED III & attention to detail for AMSA, operational & maintenance requirements
• Advanced First Aid & CPR
• Previous scuba diving and tourism experience
• Strong leadership, service skills, and a can-do attitude
• A deep respect for the marine environment

We offer:

• Excellent wages and full operational support and guidance from owner operators
• A fun, tight-knit crew and guests who love the experience as much as you do
• Work in one of the world’s most unique reef environments — no two days the same
• Furnished accommodation available to rent in Coral Bay
