It's hard to commit to job in Charleston when there are so many options. Let us tell you why Coastal Expeditions is worth considering:

1. We're on a heartpath. Our mission is to connect people with nature through meaningful experiences. Every tour, educational program and special event is curated with this in mind to develop a community of people who fall in love with- and protect- the Lowcountry.

2. We don't have a "standard day". If you're a guide or captain, you may be leading a group of kids down Shem Creek on a field trip one day and trekking through the ACE Basin the next. You'll learn skills like sea kayaking, client care, itinerary development and more.

For our office staff, you'll get the satisfaction of a face-paced day getting people set up for their adventures along the South Carolina coast. And there are unexpected perks that you don't get at any other "office job" like manatee breaks, unlimited use of kayak and paddleboards, and impromptu harbor cruises.

3. We continue your enrichment and encourage growth. Once you're in, we'll help you get certifications like ACA kayaking, life guarding and first aid. And throughout the year we do team building outdoors (Conagree, Bulls Island, St. Phillips Island, etc) and indoors (Theatre 99, Syncronicity, etc).

4. We HUSTLE from spring until fall and we scale it back in the winter. Our office hours in the winter months are from 10-3, with a 2-week break in early February. It's a great time to recharge, travel and get excited about the returning spring!

5. We give back. Every year, we raise $30,000-40,000 for sea turtles in Cape Romain NWR. As a member of the SC Coastal Bird Coalition, we helped save Crab Bank, a critical rookery island at the mouth of Shem Creek. We take thousands of South Carolina students on field trips annually.
