Have you ever wanted to clamber aloft and hoist the sails on a historic tall ship like Edward Kenway or Captain Jack Sparrow? If so, this is most certainly the job for you. As a member of Providence’s crew, you will help operate the ship, including manning docklines, setting sails from the deck, climbing aloft to loose and furl them, and engage with guests to create unforgettable memories.
