Become a Wooden Boat Festival Volunteer Captain!
Love the Wooden Boat Festival and working with great people? Join our incredible team of Volunteer Captains—the folks who help make the magic happen all weekend long.
Each Captain leads a specific area or event at the Festival, coordinating the volunteers who keep things running smoothly. Many of our Captains partner up as Co-Captains—because everything’s more fun with a teammate!

Captain Roles:
With more than 30 Festival areas and around 75 Captains, there’s a place for everyone to pitch in and lead with heart. Here a just a few of the areas where you’ll find Captains in action:
Greeters
Gyotaku (Fish Printing)Â
Bar Harbor
Staging Captain
Prevention Team
Set-up Captain
Welcome Booth
Traffic & Parking
Docks Safety Patrol
Come be part of the team that brings the Festival to life!
