From towboat companies in Mobile to barge operators in New Orleans, we know how the waterways work because we work them.
Breaking into the maritime industry shouldn’t require knowing someone or cold-calling 50 companies. With Mariner Match, you record a quick 1 minute video, take a simple match test, and we send your profile to every maritime company on our platform.
Whether you’re trying to get your first job as a deckhand or you’ve got your MMC and want companies to see what you can do, Mariner Match gets you in front of hiring managers instantly. No more wondering “how can I get my start on the water?”—just answer the questionnaire once and let us connect you with opportunities.
Riverbank Professionals was created by Capt. Gerald East Jr. who works out here on the U.S. waterways and sees the problems firsthand. Traditional recruiting agencies take part of your hard-earned pay just to connect you with a job. Companies spend hours making phone calls trying to find available crew. We built this platform to solve that.
We’re not a staffing company. We’re a marketplace. Think of us as the platform that finally answers the question every port captain or crewing manager asks: “Who’s available right now?”
For crew members, we verify your documents, run background checks at no cost to you, and let you build a professional profile that companies actually see. You get hired faster and keep 100% of your pay.
For maritime companies, we give you instant access to verified Captains, Tankermen, Deckhands, and Pilots—all pre-screened and ready to work. Post a job, review candidates, negotiate, and hire—all in one system.
Riverbank Professionals offers every tool maritime companies and crew members need from
posting jobs and verifying credentials to managing payroll and finding available crew. We’re the all-in-one platform built specifically for the U.S. waterways.
Post jobs and watch verified mariners bid for the work. Companies set the terms, crew members negotiate, and everyone gets what they need. Whether it's a Trip Captain for a month-long run or a Deckhand for a quick trip, the Crew Marketplace connects you with available, verified professionals instantly.
We verify every credential before a mariner is approved.\ MMC licenses, TWIC cards, tankerman endorsements—we check it all. Background checks through Checkr.com ensure companies get crew members who are cleared to work. Plus, our star rating system lets mariners build their professional reputation with every job completed.
Negotiate rates, schedule a check ride, review documents instantly, and even book crew travel—all in one platform. Our hiring tools streamline everything from first contact to final approval, so companies spend less time on paperwork and more time keeping vessels moving.
Payments run through Helium for secure collections, and ADP Workforce Now handles payouts. Crew members get paid on time, companies stay compliant, and everyone has the records they need. No cash handshakes, no payment disputes—just professional, trackable transactions.
Starting your journey into the maritime industry is tough. Mariner Match changes that. Record a 1-minute video, take a quick match test, and we send your profile to every company on our platform. Instead of cold-calling multiple companies, you do it once and let us make the connections for you.

Find nearby captains, learn new waterways, and get the real-time information you need to make safe decisions throughout the waterways. Built by people who know what matters when you're running a vessel.
Whether you’re a crew member setting up your profile or a company posting your first job,
our instructional videos walk you through everything step-by-step. Get started in minutes
and see how easy verified maritime hiring can be.
We’re part of the maritime industry, not outsiders. We’ve seen the problems firsthand, and Riverbank Professionals was built to help solve the real challenges that mariners and companies face every day.
Traditional recruiting agencies take part
of your paycheck just to connect you
with a company. We connect you with
them. Crew members use Riverbank Professionals for free—because you
shouldn't have to pay to work
We cover the cost of your first background check through Checkr.com for every crew member. Get verified, build your profile, and start working—without paying a dime upfront.
Most platforms are built for either companies or crew members—not both. We serve everyone. Companies get access to verified mariners, and crew members get opportunities without middlemen taking their money.
We assist in verifying key credentials—from MMC licenses to TWIC cards—ensuring companies have everything they need before anyone steps on their vessels. Companies know exactly who they're hiring, and crew members prove their qualifications with the backing of every new and old company they work for.
