About the role
Ahoy!
Pirate Life and Escape The Ghost Ship is a joint immersive experience bringing fun and adventure to the waterfront! Both taking place on a fully-functioning Pirate Ship that sails through Hamilton Harbour.
Pirate Life Adventure
Pirate Life is an interactive family experience transforming guests into pirates and taking them on a one-hour adventure on the water where kids go through pirate training, solve riddles, fight a villain with water cannons, watch an epic swordfight, and get treasure! Entertainers (you) will lead guests through this show with excitement, captivation, and a scripted performance. This is an outdoor adventure that operates in all kinds of weather (thunderstorms excluded). Upon hiring, obtaining your PCOC to operate our pirate dinghy is required. Other ad hoc elements include off-site events, driving our 20-foot pirate-ship trailer to festivals, camps, etc. and delivering performances, pirate names, balloons, and fun. Tuesday-Sunday Shifts.
*This role is a dual-functioning position with Escape The Ghost Ship. Selected candidates may be scheduled for both Pirate Life and Escape The Ship shifts.
Escape The Ghost Ship

After being introduced to their Pirate Captain (you), participants have 60 minutes on the water to solve the puzzles, open the treasure chest, and lift Bethany Bishop's curse. The Game Master's role will be to perform moments of scripted scenes, provide in-character hints, improvise with guests, and oversee safety. Loading props on and off the ship including heavier items such as Treasure Chests is involved. Thursday-Sunday Shifts.

About Art & Water
Art & Water are two elements with which we cannot live without - two subtle essentials that we sometimes barely even know they’re present. From the way we speak, dress, present ourselves, the work we do, art is in everything, just like water, an inescapable component that covers 70% of the worlds surface, 60% of our bodies, and is the basis for 100% of the food we eat.
