There are only 3 scenarios where someone should be referred to as Captain.
1) a military officer with the rank of captain
2) an individual in command of a merchant ship who, preferably, holds an unlimited tonnage master's license from their flag state authority.
3) a merchant mariner employed as a ship pilot (used as a sign of respect)
Anyone else who refers to themselves in such capacity sounds like a douche.
