An attractive aspect of working on ferries,
water taxies, shuttles and commuter boats is
that the work doesn’t require being away
from home for months on end. Ferry boat job
prospects will depend on your Coast Guard
license and familiarity with a specific body of
water for captain and mate position
candidates.

The ferry and water taxi industry is nice because you can stay close to home. But
guess what? Everyone out there has learned that little secret. Why be stuck on some
river barge for 28 days when you can go home to have dinner or a late night snack
with your family at the end of the day?

One of the reasons that mariners who are in it for the long haul are hesitant about
the ferry industry is that the employment season is short. Many ferry and fast ferry
operators count on tourist and vacation traffic to stay in business. When those
people pack up and go home after Labor Day, ferry operations slow down and with
that the demand for employees. That also means competing with students who don't
mind non-union operations. Water taxis are somewhat more stable as employment
because the stream of passengers from commuters doesn't abate in September.
Ferry operations have tried to re-invent themselves with things like sightseeing tours,
dinner cruises, booze cruises, music on the bay, etc., but that's getting into the niche
of the dinner cruise market. The dinner cruise sector is not having any picnic of its
own though, given the downturn in corporate outings, lavish weddings, etc.

Fuel prices have been a bruiser to this industry as they have to others, but another
growing trend that might not bode well is that companies are streamlining labor
forces and setting out to accomplish more with less manpower. Some operations
are cutting back on discretionary overtime for its labor forces. Don't be demoralized.
These things don't mean that there will no longer be jobs in this area. It just means
that those jobs might be more difficult and for some people, not worth the appeal of
staying close to home to avoid the grind of four weeks on or two weeks on.
