Job Description
The Travel Content Writer produces engaging content on boatbookings for all the various travel destinations around the world as well as for crewed motor yachts, sailboats, and crewed catamarans. The role covers writing content on destinations, itineraries and boats, producing short newsletters, and writing compelling short emails for our returning clients. You will be based in our fun, modern St. Petersburg office. This is a full time office-based job.
Boatbookings carries huge reach across the world and working for us means you join a young, dynamic team in the heart of St. Pete, Florida. This varied and demanding role owns content as well as carefully selecting appropriate photos, editing videos and ensuring the information on the boats and the destinations are beautifully (and correctly) presented.
Content is King or Queen - that is our philosophy! We are looking for an experienced content writer who has studied English or Journalism at University with some sailing knowledge and a passion for writing new, reviewing old, tweaking and updating as well as finding that wow picture to go with the content. We are known for our detailed and beautiful itineraries.
We are also demanding in our search for a content writer who has perfect English (grammar and punctuation are fundamental) together with an immaculate eye for detail and a flair for the creative too – be it for content or in your choice of photos. Good Google Analytics experience is important for data tracking and building on the website's strengths and weaknesses. The company and the boatbookings website are well established and cover all areas of yachting and travel.
You must have at least one year's experience in content writing/journalism or marketing related roles. You must have good organisational skills and the ability to work on mid to long term projects. This is not a role where you update instagram five times a day! The day to day is to invest in writing content across all the destinations that will be read by clients and in turn deliver traffic growth and enquiries. Have a read of our itineraries and guides, we promise you we spent a lot of time writing excellent content and choosing beautiful photos. This now needs to be owned and given lots of nurturing to continue to grow in this competitive environment.
