charter captain
Boat rental pilot
A charter captain is a licensed boat operator who takes paying passengers on fishing trips, sightseeing excursions, or other voyages.
The captain typically owns or leases the vessel and handles navigation, safety, and often serves as fishing guide: We hired a charter captain to take us deep-sea fishing.
Charter captains work in coastal tourism, offering half-day or full-day trips.
