Nah, he can take you for a motor...no sail endorsment :-)


You had better read up, little one, as you are
wrong. I need no sail endorsement to take
paying passengers out for a sail in my
blue water voyager, "Cut the Mustard".

Please consider the fact that my Coronado
is an uninspected passenger vessel and I am
a licensed Operator of Uninspected Passenger
Vessels as well as being a Master of inspected
passenger vessels.

Poor Oz- bitter and discourteous as well as
demonstrably ignorant. Tsk, tsk!

Even the yacht harbor water taxi's I've seen, won't hire anyone with less than
a 100 tn license. Your license is nothing, if you can't use it.

Lots of fishing outfits in the gulf hire 25gters to run party boats.
Why a water taxi would need a 100 ton captian is beyond me. Must be a
supply and demand thing.

Joe

We work cheap! $100 bucks a day and no benefits.
Must buy our own insurance and pay for our own
drug tests. There are way too many captains available.

G Either you've got a bunch of real small "party boats" down there, or
some N.A.'s who really know how to play the GT game.

There are many places where small vessels are the
rule rather than the exception. Take the Florida
Keys, for example. There are small head boats,
ecotour boats, snorkel/dive boats, water taxis,
etc. that average thirty feet or less. There are
a couple of head boats in the fifty foot range
that require a 100GT or greater license but
those are few and far between. The greatest
number of charter boats are those used for
'back country' fishing trips. These are outboard
powered skiffs and captain hired by rich folks
who like to fish. The Six Pak license is ideal for
this. Fact be known more dollars are earned here
under the auspices of the OUPV than all the other
licenses combined.

What does that make your license? Unnecessary and
of little use.

No, G it makes his license more versatile and less restrictive.

Yeah they buy up aluminum surplus oilfield bay boats put rails on them

that troll the gulf for big game.

Joe

6-pac and 25 ton, as we know are two different things, most of what you are
describing, seem to fall under the 6-pac, or are you saying people, people hire
the 25 ton license holders to run boats which only need a 6-pac? As otn said, a
25 ton boat is fairly small.

Thats what I said. Some small boat carry 15 passengers(a 6 pac will
not cover it). And like I say most old converted oilfield boat that
carried crew to the drilling rigs in the bays along the Texas coast.

More of an insurance issue. The higher license generally will require a greater
degree of experience and knowledge.
