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.

WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR

This is for people who:

  • 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:

  • Entertainment (dance, acting, comedy, music)
  • Hospitality (bartending, serving, hosting)
  • Teaching / camp counseling / coaching
  • Sales / promotions / public speaking

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.

EARNINGS & SCHEDULE

  • $30–$50+ per hour (base pay + strong tips)
  • Fri, Saturday, and Sunday (every week)
  • Seasonal: May–October

REQUIREMENTS

  • 18+ (21+ preferred)
  • Must pass US Coast Guard–federal required drug testing (includes marijuana)
  • Must be able to lift 50 lbs (ex: coolers with ice)
  • Comfortable working outdoors in all conditions (we cruise rain or shine)

HOW TO STAND OUT

  • Complete Indeed’s phone screening
  • Show personality in your application
  • Highlight any experience leading, entertaining, or performing

FINAL NOTE

We are extremely selective.

We are not looking for someone who just “speaks Spanish.” We are looking for someone who can:

Walk onto a boat. Take control of a group instantly. Lead, entertain, and create an unforgettable experience — in two languages

If that sounds like you, please apply!
