Nautical charts

We are planning on using QGC for a submersible ROV project. The default map display shows terrestrial features but no details on water. Can QGC display nautical charts? We would like to display NOAA chart tiles. Has anyone attempted this?

Is there a good source for these tiles?
@dogmaphobic might know more.

https://tileservice.charts.noaa.gov/tileset.html#50000_1-locator. These are of course US based charts. The chart service outputs tiles in what is called mbtiles format. an fyi, this format is read by QGIS.
