There’s something truly magical about starting your day on the water. The calm of the harbour at sunrise, the bustle of excited passengers stepping aboard, the pride of showing off one of the most beautiful coastlines in the world — it never gets old. At Coastal Cruises Poole, this is everyday life. And if you’ve ever dreamed of a career that blends adventure, teamwork, and unforgettable experiences, you may have just found your perfect fit.
A Workplace Like No Other
Working with us isn’t your typical 9–5. Our “office” moves with the tide, our days are filled with fresh sea air, and no two cruises are ever the same. One moment you’re helping a family create lifelong holiday memories, the next you’re docking alongside a glowing Poole Quay at sunset.
Whether you’re on the bridge navigating our larger vessels or greeting guests as they step aboard, every role plays a part in creating the Coastal Cruises experience. We’re proud to be more than a team — we’re a family.
⚓ A Supportive, Friendly Crew
Our onboard and shore-based teams work closely together, supporting one another and celebrating each other’s wins. We believe in fostering a positive, inclusive atmosphere where everyone feels valued.
🚤 A Chance to Grow
From seasonal crew members discovering the maritime world to experienced captains joining us for the long term, we invest in our people. Training, mentoring, and continuous learning are part of who we are.
🌅 The Best Views in the Business
Let’s be honest — it’s hard to beat the office scenery. Brownsea Island wildlife, dramatic Jurassic Coast cliffs, and sparkling harbour sunsets aren’t just for our passengers. Our team gets front-row seats every day.
😀 Making People Happy
When guests step off with huge smiles, it’s the biggest reward of all. Whether it’s a sightseeing cruise, a festive event, or one of our themed trips, you play a key role in shaping their day.
