Job Description
Salary:
S outheast Alaska is a wild, rich, and dynamic region of Alaska. Standing on a beach in Frederick Sound, it is possible to see rainforest behind you, high mountain peaks with glaciers in front of you, and Humpback Whales feeding in the rich water surrounding you. No wonder this area is a destination for many tourists each summer. However, many visitors never get a chance to have an intimate experience here as most of their time is spent aboard large cruise ships or in port.
The Boat Companys (TBC) aim is to provide a more intimate experience in this incredible place. The hope is that this intimate experience combined with a knowledgeable crew will foster a sense of stewardship in our passengers. This is extremely important because Southeast Alaska is home to the 17 million-acre Tongass National Forest. This is the largest National Forest in the United States and, as such, each of us has a say in managing this forest. TBC believes that to know Southeast Alaska is to love Southeast Alaska and by educating our passengers about this area and the issues that face it, they will be more likely to take an active role in deciding what the future holds for this national treasure.
