Casual Boatmen for 2026 – Expression of Interest Form
The National Yacht Club is currently looking to complement the pool of casual boatmen available to work in the Club's boathouse.
The work carried out by casual boatmen, under the supervision of experienced staff, is wide ranging and both demanding and rewarding in equal measures.
Casual boatmen are involved in all the boathouse duties, ranging from the cleanliness and maintenance of the platform to ferrying members to the moorings to assisting with crane lifts to maintaining club crafts (dinghies, keelboats, RIBs, launches etc)
The boathouse operates 7 days / week all year round, 8h / day in the winter and 12h / day in the summer, with a break around Christmas / New Year.
Casual boatmen, mostly university students, tend to stay with us for many years as hours worked can be quite flexible and tailored to individual requirements.
If you interested in joining the pool of casual boatmen, or even inquire for further details, please fill in the form here
