What to Expect

Life at Sea

This isn’t a desk job. The Leader boats offer a unique working experience. That’s why you’ll love it! If you are physically and mentally fit, able to work long hours, and capable of enduring intense physical labor, you’ll thrive here. Teamwork is a must on the Leader boats, and that's why many crew members go on to be lifelong friends.

Careers

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.
