About Working on a “Floatel” 

LandSea will be providing workforce catering and accommodation services for guests onboard the MV Isabelle, a 650 passenger “Floatel”. The Floatel will be permanently docked in Squamish, B.C. and is estimated to operate for up to three years.  All crew members onboard the MV Isabelle must have the minimum marine safety certifications required by Transport Canada for the specific job.  

Individuals who do not have the required marine safety certifications (see details below) will be required to attend a 5 – 10-day marine safety program.
