I've been on plenty of fishing charter boats, and thankfully never experienced this!  That Captain is in a world of chit now!!

They could charge him with kidnapping along with everything else. Dude is in big trouble.

Kidnapping, aggravated assault, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, oiu,  and I'm sure there are additional charges having to do with being under the influence as a ship captain.

Maybe it's safer to use a charter company instead of a  sole proprieter?  Just a suggestion, but I'm not into anything on the ocean.

the captain and the passengers sound like idiots, arrest the captain and drown the passengers, and then justice is served, it was most likely the cheapest charter out there, I am sure that it could have been handled like adults, but sounds like the Captain and the Passengers are a bunch of children,
