Social Media & Branding Manager for Boating Company

ABOUT TAMPA BAY BOATING ADVENTURES

Tampa Bay Boating Adventures (TBBA) is the fastest-growing boating excursion startup in the Tampa Bay area. Founded in 2022, we show local university students and young adults the side of Tampa Bay most people never get to see: private beaches, exclusive islands, tiki bars, and bleach-white sand accessible only by water. From relaxing sunset cruises to full-blown Gasparilla parties on the water, TBBA is the name when you want to party on the bay.

Our brand is loud, unapologetic, and 100% Florida. This role is not about making content -- it is about owning it. You will set the direction, manage the calendar, guide our intern team, and make sure everything that goes out looks and feels like TBBA.
