You don't need a station license for the boat, but I thought you still did for a land
station. The latter should be hard to get if it's just a cottage contacting a single craft.

Ah, but if your boat is from the US with a VHF and go to Canada you *do* need a
station license for the boat. The no station license applies only if you
remain in the US and only use the radio in coastal US waters. As for the land
station what ever Canada requires.I suspect that there is some sort of
licensing required.
