I'm filling out the FCC 605 forms so I can legally use my VHF when I go into
Canadian waters.

Do I need to have both an individual operator's license and a ship station
license?...


I think you need a Restricted Radiotelephone Operator Permit (fcc
753L) for each operator (this is a no test license) and a Ship Radio
Station Authorization (fcc 605-S). Commercial operators need a Marine
Radio Operator Permit (fcc 605-FRC) which requires passing an exam.
