None of which matters one bit. You need a Safe Boating Certificate in
CT. A Master Mariner's ticket doesn't cut it, because it is for
something else, with different requirements.

To quote from the Connecticut Boater's Guide:

http://www.ct.gov/dep/lib/dep/boatin...e/part1_08.pdf

A person who has a valid vessel operator license by the United
States Coast Guard does not require a Safe Boating Certificate. They
must have a copy of the license on board the recreational vessel on
which they are operating.
