Sorry fot the typo's, right hand is in a splint.

A VHF-FM license is no longer required for boats inside US waters,
unless they are commercial.

They are still required when outside US waters.


Actually not quite accurate. Licensing is only required if you
communicate with a Coast Station of another country. If you just
sail out past the 20 mile Limit, but don't enter another countries
waters, or communicate with another countries Coast Stations,
you are still covered by the Blanket US License if your vessel
is US flagged. This is, however, a very minor distinction.
