Yeah there are different levels of licensing based on tonnage and inland or blue-water but you only need one if you're getting paid. I have heard of insurance companies requiring an owner to have a licensed captain on some of the larger vessels even if they are not chartering them.

Hey- don't make me go all rockytop85 on you.......

Yes, and so does international waters.

Could you legally pilot that boat if you discount insurance? I’d guess that’s a 50 ton displacement vessel and well into the licensed captain tonnage range USCG calls for. I thought that crossed commercial and private registration, it was pure displacement

Oh Gawd... ok withdrawn.

Regardless after skippering some sailing yachts and going thru training on that so I didn’t needlessly kill somebody I wouldn’t start a diesel on that boat without supervision.

The license has nothing to do with operation of the vessel. It’s completely about what to do when the vessel isn’t operating and how to avoid situations which result in a non operating vessel.

Didn't know that. I have my OUPV so as long as we stay within 100 miles of shore, boat is under 100 tons and no more than 6 people I'm your man.

In a situation with a non operating vessel in open water you drink. It's not rocket science.
