About Audacity Marine Services Audacity Marine Services is a growing marine detailing, restoration, and vessel services company based in Port Aransas, Texas. While Port Aransas is our home base, we are a mobile marine services company working throughout the Coastal Bend, with much of our work concentrated in Aransas Pass, Rockport, and North Padre Island. We work on everything from bay boats and center consoles to large offshore sportfishing vessels, providing professional detailing, oxidation correction, polishing, ceramic coatings, restoration, maintenance, and vessel support. We take pride in doing things the right way—not simply the fastest or easiest way. Our reputation is built on attention to detail, quality workmanship, reliability, and treating every vessel as if it were our own. As Audacity continues to expand, we're looking for dependable, hardworking people who want an opportunity to learn, take on responsibility, and grow with the company. The Position We are hiring Marine Detailer / Marine Services Technician to assist with professional boat detailing, restoration, and ongoing vessel maintenance. Marine detailing or experience being on a boat is preferred, but not required. Multiple of our employees had never been on a boat before and become assets to the business. We are willing to train the right person. What matters most to us is work ethic, dependability, attention to detail, initiative, and a willingness to learn. This is a physically demanding, hands-on outdoor position. Work is performed at marinas, boatyards, docks, private residences, and other locations throughout the Coastal Bend. Because we are mobile, employees should expect to work in Port Aransas, Rockport, North Padre Island, and surrounding areas depending on the day's project. Primary Responsibilities Depending on experience and training, detailing responsibilities may include:
- Washing and maintaining boats
- Deep cleaning vessel interiors and exteriors
- Cleaning compartments, hatches, upholstery, nonskid, and other marine surfaces
- Removing rust, water spots, mildew, and marine contamination
- Machine polishing and waxing
- Gelcoat correction and oxidation removal
- Preparing vessels for ceramic coatings and protective products
- Applying marine waxes, sealants, and coatings
- Loading, unloading, cleaning, and organizing equipment
- Maintaining company tools, products, and work areas
- Assisting with vessel maintenance and concierge services
- Performing quality-control checks
- Learning proper marine detailing, restoration, and surface-care techniques
- Assisting experienced team members with larger correction and restoration projects Opportunities Beyond Detailing For the right employee, this position can become much more than a detailing job. There will be opportunities for additional hours and responsibilities outside of scheduled detailing work. Depending on your strengths and interests, additional responsibilities may include:
- Social media and content creation
- Taking photos and videos of projects
- Assisting with before-and-after content
- Inventory management

- Assisting with estimates and job coordination
- Vessel concierge and support services
- Training new employees
- Leading crews and managing jobs
- General operational and administrative support We understand that different people bring different strengths to a growing company. Someone who starts with us as a detailer may eventually develop into a crew lead, project manager, operations or management role as Audacity expands. We are looking for someone who is:
- Dependable and punctual
- Hardworking and self-motivated
- can be detail-oriented
- Comfortable taking direction and learning new techniques
- Able to take initiative once trained
- Comfortable working around boats, docks, and water but not required
- Comfortable working outdoors year-round
- Able to work in South Texas heat, sun, humidity, wind, and occasional cold weather
- Comfortable performing physically demanding work for extended periods
- Able to bend, kneel, climb, reach, and work in tight spaces
- Able to safely lift and carry equipment and supplies
- Respectful of clients, vessels, and expensive equipment
- Professional when interacting with vessel owners, captains, crews, marina staff, and other marine professionals Boat, fishing, detailing, fiberglass, gelcoat, marina, social media, inventory, management, or other hands-on trade experience is a plus—but not required.
We can teach everything you don't know, even if it's nothing This Job May Be a Great Fit If You… Enjoy working with your hands, like being around boats and the water, take satisfaction in seeing a dramatic before-and-after transformation, and would rather spend your day moving and working than sitting behind a desk. Schedule & Travel Marine work does not fit perfectly into a Monday-Friday schedule. Our workload changes based on weather, vessel schedules, tournaments, customer needs, and seasonal demand. However, this job can be flexible to your availability Reliable transportation is essential. Why Audacity? Audacity is more than a name to us. It represents having the courage to take on difficult things, push beyond what's expected, learn continuously, take calculated risks, and build something you're proud to put your name behind. That's the mentality we bring to our work, our company, and the people we want around us. If you're interested in learning a skilled trade with the opportunity to grow into something bigger, we'd love to hear from you. If you just want a side gig job, we'd love to hear from you too.
