Men of the maritime or naval business, especially the more experienced ones, will usually grow beards. It's more an issue of practicality - shaving requires fresh water, and you have to conserve this on a ship. But in any case, it is one way to tell that a character is a real Father Neptune.
For Pirate Captains, a prominent beard is such an obligatory part of the dress code that you have a high probability of being named after it. Real Life gave us Blackbeard and Redbeard, and fiction has responded with Redbeard Rum (see right), Whitebeard, Yellowbeard, Purplebeard... everything but Bluebeard, which was already taken by a non-pirate.
Any character sporting this is likely to Talk Like a Pirate. Something about the way the densely packed follicles baffle the sound waves... Combine with Beard of Barbarism for Pirates and Horny Vikings. Compare Sailor's Ponytail. Sub-Trope of Manly Facial Hair.

Lampshaded in The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists, as the Pirate Captain is very proud of his bushy beard, and it's even one of the judging points of the Pirate of the Year Award. His rival, Black Bellamy, has a bigger beard, which makes the Pirate Captain feel inadequate.

Due to the franchise's roots as an intended parody of the SF anime cliches of the 70s, most Macross series traditionally have the captains of their respective Cool Ships to wear the traditional bushy beards. Bruno Global and Jeffrey Wilder being the most prominent examples.
Max Jenius, though, is an aversion — he's clean-shaven and impeccably clad in white, and wears a Cool Shades just to show off what an Ace he is. He even looks like a total Bishōnen at 52.
Shoji Kawamori reportedly outright stated that Max stopped aging due to his sheer awesomeness.
