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?

I an not absolutly sure, but I believe in the US the Maximum Gross
Weight for unlicensed Operators is 200 Tons. Anything over that
requires both a Licensed Master and Chief Engineer, minimum and that
changes as the Tonnage increases. I know that these mminimums are
true for commercial vessels, but I am not sure for non-commercial
vessels.
