Licensed captain on a yacht in Miami

Who can be a captain on a yacht in Miami?

Not everyone can manage a yacht, in order for you to be allowed to manage, you need to comply with the following rules:

  • Have a boating experience. The first step to becoming a captain of any vessel is to gain experience-either on your own boat or as a crew member on someone else's. You do not have to be a paid crew member to count your sea time in your credentials if you are on board a registered vessel and the owner is ready to confirm your time. In any case, it's best to accumulate crewing experience in your future industry before you get a license.

  • Taking the USCG Exam: Before you can get a captain's license, you need to take the USCG exam approved by the US Coast Guard. The exam includes the rules of ship management, navigation, seamanship and more. There are many courses that will help you prepare for the exam and pass it.

  • Preparation and submission of various documents to the Coast Guard. The package of such documents includes a medical examination, various marine forms, confirmation of registration for drug screening and more.

How do I get a captain's license and what requirements do I need to fulfill so that you can manage a yacht?

If you already have experience in managing a marine vessel, you have passed the exams, prepared the necessary documents, you need to get a license. Without it, no one will allow you to operate a yacht, and even more so, no owner will want his clients to be at risk if an unlicensed captain is driving.

  • You must be over 19 years old;

  • Watch at the helm. You need to gain 360 days of experience on the boat, of which 90 days must have been worked over the last 3 years;

  • Forms of marine services must be completed. Fill out your marine services forms and ask the owner or manager of the vessel to confirm your time. One day of naval service is equal to eight hours of work on board the ship - this does not include overtime. You can count on naval service from the age of 16 onwards. In all cases, you need your sea service period to be 90 days within the last three years;

  • Passed USCG Exam;

  • Medical examination;

  • Transport Worker Identification Card (TWIC);

  • Confirmation of registration for drug screening;

  • MMC Application Form;
