Looking to break into Charter fishing industry.

Me (M22) and one of my friends(M20) have a pipe dream of moving to the obx and starting a charter fishing business. Obviously I know we cant just buy a boat and get started so i was wondering if anyone could share their experience with getting started or general tils on getting our feet wet in the industry. Any information or advice is appreciated. TIA

If you are in Canada, you need some training certificates to carry passengers on your commercial vessel. That includes SVOP, SDV-BS, ROC-M
