No, you're on a boat 24 hrs a day, you're at a desk (usually) 8 hrs/day. $100K for a desk job is comparable to $300K on a boat

- mcculley 3y agoIt is not that simple. Crew generally have defined shifts for rest. The boat is responsible for food and other basic supplies.
- pcthrowaway 3y agoOh yeah, sorry, I meant if the captain is working year-round other than a few weeks of vacation (like with desk jobs) If the captain works 2 weeks on and 2 weeks off it's probably more like $150K for a desk job
- mcculley 3y agoRight now, any licensed captain with a Master of Towing endorsement can get whatever schedule he wants. If he wants to work 365 days per year, there are idle tugboats waiting for him.
