Charting Your Captaincy: A Smooth Voyage to Licensing! The 25/50 or 100-Ton Master Captain's License is the highest level license that you can acquire. This master boat captain's license allows you to operate inspected vessels (7 passengers or more – like a water taxi or dive boat) or uninspected vessels. Depending on your experience, it will be issued as a 25, 50, or 100-ton. The Coast Guard does not require that you advance through the different licenses one at a time. So, if you qualify, you can go straight to a Master's level as your first license!
The Towing Endorsement is required if you will be engaged in towing a disabled vessel for payment, such as the activities of a Sea Tow or TowBoatU.S. operator.
To carry seven or more passengers "under sail" on inspected sailing vessels, a Sailing Endorsement is also required.
