NSW Police charged the skipper on Thursday with negligent or reckless navigation causing death, and the 67-year-old is due to face Moruya Local Court in July.

Emergency services were called to Moruya's North Head on February 9 following reports of a boat capsizing.

People on a nearby breakwall threw lifebuoys to the trio and all were pulled ashore.

The skipper was uninjured but taken to Moruya Hospital for testing. Police did not reveal the test results.

The third man, 36, was also uninjured.
