fishing boat captain
Trawler's commanding officer
A fishing boat captain commands a vessel used for commercial or recreational fishing.
The role combines navigation, crew management, and knowledge of where fish are found.
Commercial captains may specialize in particular catches—crab, tuna, shrimp—and face dangerous conditions for extended periods.
Charter boat captains take paying customers out for sport fishing, serving as guide and host.
The fishing boat captain knew these waters better than anyone.
