Why This Role Stands Out
Lead expedition voyages as a Master with Coral Expeditions, a renowned leader in immersive small-ship adventures, and enjoy a competitive salary and remote flexibility. This pivotal role offers immense growth potential for experienced mariners with strong leadership skills who are passionate about delivering exceptional guest experiences and managing all aspects of vessel operations.
Quick Overview
Job Description
Coral Expeditions is Australia’s pioneering cruise line. We specialise in a unique style of immersive adventures by small expedition ship. With humble beginnings hosting cruises on the Great Barrier Reef, the company has grown into a borderless fleet of three ships carrying between 72 and 120 guests. For four decades, Coral has operated with a single purpose – to take small groups of likeminded explorers to remote places with expert guidance and warm Australian hospitality. We offer a wide range of domestic and international destinations. Coral is part of the NRMA Group, a member-owned brand that also operates NRMA Parks & Resorts, SIXT car rental, NRMA Electric Vehicle charging network and various marine businesses.
The role of Master is a key on-board management position responsible for guest satisfaction by managing all crew and all areas of cruise operation either directly or indirectly through ship based Heads of Department. The Master of a Coral Expeditions vessel is required to represent the very best interests of the company at all times. This position would suit a motivated person who is looking for a change and new challenge as a part of a well-established nationwide marine team.
