We are fast approaching the 2020 summer season which means we are looking for well presented, safe and experienced skippers to join our team of freelance Rib drivers. Spend your work days blasting across the Solent on large corporate day’s out to a quite family charter to gently explore the beautiful sights the Solent has to offer.

We have work available throughout the year with the ‘busiest’ times being April through to September. Skippers must have a minimum of a commercially endorsed RYA Advanced Powerboat qualification. For those who wish to work further afield with us, as we run many charters on the Thames and across the UK, then you must also have a UK towing licence.
