Operator of Uninspected Passenger Vessels (OUPV):
Thinking of becoming a charter boat guide? Want to take people out on diving or fishing expeditions for pay? Then you need to become a licensed captain. This course prepares you for the US Coast Guard captain’s licensing exam for an uninspected vessel carrying up to 6 passengers. Study areas include: general seamanship, rules of the road, chart navigation, code of federal regulations, and more. Our goal is to have you prepared to submit your licensing application with the Coast Guard when you leave our class.
