Running since 1984 Deben Cruises is a long established and well-loved river trip business operated from and by our Waldringfield Boatyard. We operate upwards of 100 trips a year, offering an entertaining and informative commentary whilst navigating downriver to Felixstowe Ferry and Bawdsey or upriver to Woodbridge.

Skippers must carry the MCA Boatmaster Lv. 2 qualification with specific local training. Those who do not currently hold a Boatmaster licence but who hold other vessel handling tickets may apply but will have to gain the necessary qualifications before being able to become a skipper.

Hours are flexible and the role could be full-time, part-time or seasonal.The dates are sent out a calendar month in advance for crew to sign up to.

Potential skippers are asked to detail relevant experience and qualifications in the application.
