The waters of the Bering Sea are full of Wild Alaska Cod and whitefish. They’re also full of opportunities for those who are willing to brave the seas and can make the cut.

The Bering Sea Awaits.

Alaskan Leader Fisheries is a commercial fishing company that operates year-round in the Bering Sea. Each of its four vessels average 24 crew members per fishing trip. Open positions become available based on each vessel's staffing needs.

Alaskan Leader Fisheries hires exclusively full-time contract employees. There are no seasonal, part-time or land-based employment opportunities. Advancement opportunities can happen rapidly for those individuals who show willingness and the initiative to excel.

Room & Board

All crew live and work in clean, shared spaces. The vessels house bathroom and shower facilities that are shared amongst the crew. State rooms have bunk beds, individual cubbies for belongings, and sleep 4-6 crew per room. Rooms and beds will be assigned to crew upon crew arrival to the vessel.
Food

Each Leader boat staffs an experienced cook who strives to provide multicultural meal options and welcomes meal requests. Meals are self-serve in the galley using steam tables and the crew eat family style. Three hot meals plus snacks and drinks are provided per day to nourish the hardworking crew.
Conditions

Fishing on the Bering Sea can be challenging at times as weather conditions can produce high seas and rough work conditions. No matter what the weather, crew can expect the work to be demanding and fast paced. That said, the excitement of loading the boat amidst Alaska’s natural beauty is a unique shared experience. And many crew members return because our fleet is safe, and our officers are well-trained and experienced Commercial Fishermen.
