If you want to be the captain of a commercial watercraft carrying more than six passengers, it is necessary to get a 25-ton, 50-ton, or 100-ton boat captain's license. This U.S. Coast Guard license, also known as the Master Captain’s License, allows you to perform the duties of an OUPV captain and also operate Inspected Vessels.
THE DEFINITIVE GUIDE TO GETTING YOUR MASTER CAPTAIN’S LICENSE
Common Questions About USCG Licenses for Inspected Vessels
Inspected vessels are approved to carry seven or more paying passengers and have been built in accordance with rigid USCG standards. Ferry boats, harbor tour boats, sailing schooners, and whale watching boats are all examples of inspected vessels.
A Master license is issued for operation of inspected vessels on the Great Lakes, Inland, and Near Coastal waterways. It comes in three versions: 25, 50, or a 100-ton license. Both the amount of sea service time and the size vessels you have been on will influence the license you are eligible to receive.
The necessary boating experience required for the 25-ton, 50-ton, and 100-ton USCG license requirements vary.
