Overview
Bilingual Event Host / Cruise Director (English/Spanish – Boat Party Experiences) ($30–$50+/hr ) Jobs in Patchogue, NY at PADDLE PUB LONG ISLAND
Bilingual Event Host / Cruise Director (English/Spanish – Boat Party Experiences)
Hiring for both our Huntington & Patchogue, Long Island locations
ABOUT US
We operate one of Long Island’s most unique group experiences — high-energy, BYOB party boat cruises aboard our Paddle Pub & Cruisin’ Tikis.
Think:
- Bachelorette parties
- Birthdays & celebrations
- Sunset cruises with music, dancing, and games
- A “no passport needed” escape on the water
Every trip is different — and our party hosts are the reason why.
THE ROLE
This position serves as a Bilingual Cruise Director / Event Host.
You are not just translating —you are leading the energy, controlling the vibe, and creating the experience in both English and Spanish.
Think: Wedding MC… Cruise Director… Party Host… Entertainer
All in one.
WHAT MAKES THIS ROLE DIFFERENT
You are:
- The center of attention for every group
- The one setting the tone from the first minute
- The person guests not only remember, tag, talk about after, but invite them out to their after-party and request to have again on their next boat party with us
You will:
- Lead groups of up to 26 guests
- Hype up the energy, break the ice, and get people dancing
- Run games, karaoke, and interactive moments
- DJ / control music across all genres
- Capture photos/videos for guests (and social media moments)
- Adapt instantly to different crowds and personalities
Some groups are chill. Some are wild. Your job is to read the room and elevate it.
BILINGUAL EXPECTATIONS (IMPORTANT)
You must be able to:
- Speak fluently and confidently in English and Spanish
- Address and lead a group in both languages
- Switch naturally depending on the crowd
- Make both English and Spanish-speaking guests feel included
This is not a translation role. This is a performance + leadership role in two languages.

- Love being in front of people
- Have strong personalities and presence
- Can command attention without trying too hard
- Thrive in fast-paced, social environments
Backgrounds we love:

- Hospitality (bartending, serving, hosting)
- Teaching / camp counseling / coaching

SOCIAL MEDIA & BRAND PRESENCE
Our experiences are highly shareable. (Instagram: @fiestaenbarcony, TikTik: @fiestaenbarconewyork)
You will:
- Take photos/videos for guests
- Help create moments people want to post
- Be part of a brand that lives on Instagram, TikTok, & social
If you’re someone who understands content, energy, and “viral moments,” you’ll stand out fast.
