Think of the party bike captain as a cross between a driver, a party host, and a tour guide all-in-one. The party bike captain is the heart and soul of Arizona Party Bike, perhaps of the city or even the universe itself. The captains are responsible for the fun and safety of our guests from start to finish; that they have an unforgettable, five-star experience each and every time they go out with us. For this, the captains are amply rewarded. (Most of our captains make $35-50 / hour including tips!)
However, this job is not for everyone and we don’t hire just anyone. We need the best of the best, the connoisseurs of day and night life, the creators of conversation, and the holders of clean driver’s licenses.
This is a great position for anyone with experience in the service industry such as servers and bartenders, tour guides, and hospitality. Anyone with an outgoing personality or experience with entertainment, acting, or music also tend to be great fits!
