Skippers wanted

We're looking for experienced skippers for Denmark's most beautiful workplace

Have you ever dreamed of waking up to a day that primarily consists of hours behind the helm? Do you want a job where you can contribute to giving both locals and tourists a unique experience on the beautiful Odense River?

We are looking for skilled skippers for the coming season at Odense Aafart.

Bryllup på Odense Å

 

The tasks include:
As the skipper of our three tour boats, you will sail happy guests from Filosofgangen, past Odense Zoo to Erik Bøghs Sti in Fruens Bøge.

Along the way, you will be responsible for ticket control, scanning and sales. You'll help guests with walking difficulties on board, and for bookings you'll help set out food and drinks. It can be hectic at times, as it's crucial that all guests have a great experience while keeping the boats on schedule.

We also organise various events such as wine tastings and Music on the River. As a skipper, you will help ensure that our customers have a memorable experience. As we are a small team, team spirit and the willingness to work together and support each other is important.

We expect you to have the necessary papers for sailing with passengers (proficiency test in sailing for merchant ships).

 

If you have a craftsman's background and an interest in boat and engine maintenance, this would be an advantage. However, this is not essential, as we are willing to train the right person, as Odense Aafart explains in the job advert.

Are you the person we're looking for? Then send your application to eva@aafart.dk and tell us about yourself and your relevant experience.

 

The season is from April-October and we are looking for both part-time and full-time skippers. There will be evening work in connection with bookings and wine tastings.

We look forward to hearing from you

Eva & Morten
