Paul,
I have been told that a person could captain any size boat he'd want to
provided there is no commercial interest. In other words if a person
could afford a 150' boat he wouldn't be required to have a Captains
license or hire a Captain to pilot the vessel. Is this correct?

In .uk at least, and probably in most of the civilised world, you
need a qualified master on anything over 23 metres long.
The manning and qualifications required increase with length and weight.
