You have to have a lot of hours on the vessel just like a pilot would a plane. Most people have their own charter service and hire from people they know well. It would be best to try to hired on  the charter boats in a different capacity to begin with, let them learn about you, your work ethic and competence. Also, location means a lot. like Alaska would be a great place and so would British Columbia. Research your prospects. Look on line under charters, guides, tours etc.
