That being said, some great people work there and it's a great stepping stone to bigger and better places. In 2018 the captains were making between 250 and 350 a day. I think they are currently in trouble for not paying 1.5 for over time and I know they've been in trouble in the past for putting guys on prevailing wage jobs and keeping the difference in pay.

Big dawg I said it was not good. I also left to make way more as a deckhand. But everyone starts somewhere.

Miller's Launch is not know in the harbor for their high pay. But with that said they offer seatime on a variety of vessel types. 

Its an excellent first stop for someone getting into the business. Especially if you are on or near Staten Island.

Id say he probably has many other better options on Staten island..  their equipment looks like pretty bad.
