There is a category of Uninspected Passenger Vessel over 100 tons and
suitable for up to 12 passengers. I don't know what license is required
to operate such a vessel, but I don't think its the basic OUPV. The
section "A" that I snipped from the USCode in a previous post referred to
those boats.

According to the http://www.uscg.mil/STCW/ page, there are the following:

Limited OUPV (launch tender)
OUPV (6-pak)

I don't believe the regs ever mention "6-pak."

Limited Master (90 days in 3 years + 120 day)
Master 100 ton (less than 100 tons)

There are higher licenses, but everything I could find requires having a
valid US merchant mariner credential.

There are other licences, such as able seaman, lifeboatman, etc. But, I
don't see how these would apply.

There are also endorsements, such as towing or oceans.


46CFR15 seems to say that a Master is required on "Uninspected
Passenger Vessels" over 100 tons, which can carry up to 12 people. So
an OUPV is not sufficient for this category.

Sure doesn't. In fact, the CG hate that term.

Definitely not.
