I jumped from 35 to 62 and ins required captain for 4 months until they signed off. Which was a good deal on all fronts.
Well once you jump past 24m, often the enigneer that has the right ticket may be making more than his boss the captain. And again is you never...
For USA authorities you need nothing. Ins will demand experience on similar vessel but don't really care much about a lic.

After 4 years on a 62 sportfish, we just picked up a 33 hydrasport and I think it's more fun to fish. I love big boats, boat running down from the...

Interesting how all the quoted costs shared in this thread turn out to be between .008 and .0092%
We looked at possible Candidate for next boat which was 123'. The yacht had no steering wheel at the helm. Just auto pilot jog control. Is this...
