Patrol Captain

At TowBoatU.S. Ft. Lauderdale, we look for motivated and professional Captains to join the nation’s leading marine towing and salvage teams. This is a fast-paced, hands-on position where no two days are the same. Our Captains respond to a wide variety of situations including disabled vessels, groundings, salvage operations, emergency response calls, and long-distance towing assignments throughout South Florida and beyond.

We pride ourselves on providing extensive real-world training and experience. Captains who join our team quickly develop advanced boat handling, towing, troubleshooting, and decision-making skills that would take many years to gain elsewhere in the industry. For career-minded individuals, there are opportunities for advancement within the company.

This position is ideal for someone who thrives in a challenging environment, enjoys problem-solving, and takes pride in helping boaters during stressful situations. Successful candidates must be dependable, safety-focused, customer-oriented, and capable of operating independently in changing marine conditions.
