Yes, and it is a career change move. A skipper already covers 29% of what a fisheries boatman is expected to do: 18 skills carry over, 14 of which the fisheries boatman role treats as required.

30 required skills are missing, plus 23 optional ones. They fall into 12 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, led by agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary. The single most important is apply fishing maneuvres.

Its learning distance is 80.1 out of 100, which is the career change band. That accounts for both how much is missing and how specialised those skills are.
