Deckhand Jobs in Alaska

8 open listings · updated Sep 13, 2026

Deckhand jobs in Alaska, listed as employers post them and as we find them on employers’ own career pages. Deckhands crew commercial and charter boats, mostly in Alaska, for a crew share that has meant $10,000 to $25,000 for a three-month salmon season, or $120 to $180 per day plus tips on charters. Alaska work is remote and seasonal, almost always comes with housing, and often reimburses airfare after the season.

More About Deckhand Jobs in Alaska

Each deckhand listing in Alaska shows the season dates, whether housing and meals are included, the pay when the employer states it, and how to apply directly to the employer. There is no application fee and no recruiter in the middle: the apply link goes to the outfitter, ranch, lodge, agency or crew that is hiring. Listings an employer posts directly are checked by a person before they go live; listings we found on public career pages are marked until they have been checked, so confirm the details with the employer before you travel. Recently filled deckhand positions in Alaska stay visible below the live listings so you can see which employers hire and when.
