If the sense of the question is "are qualifications required for
pleasure-boat operators?" then the short answer is "no". The USCG administers tests for licenses that are required for carrying passengers for hire, and many professional yacht skipers hold such licenses.

As a UK sailor of many years experience in racing and cruising yachts, I am curious to know, since the subject rarely turns up, whether our US cousins have a similar series of qualifications to those administered in the UK by the Royal Yachting Association (Yachmaster, at various levels). I am not extolling the virtues of such "official"qualifications, indeed many UK sailors think they are less than useful, just curious to know if such training and examination facilities exist in the US, as the subject never seems to be discussed in this NG.
