I am logging my days too, I am above the required days for Inland OUPV and will probably take the course soon.

I got my captain's license in 1994. <125 gross ton with the towing endorsement. Took the exam in New York City. Probably one of the two hardest tests I've ever taken.

Re: Licensed Captain

Where did you put in your "sea time", and on what type vessel?

Im getting all the sea time in college because im going to a maritime college that does summer cruises and has you intern on ships

Re: Licensed Captain

I guess the question is how did you get the Licenses without the sea time?

I have a master captains license
As a 17 yr old obviously i can't go out and charter boats nor can i got drive a cargo ship. I do have certificate saying i took the 5 week course which was very challenging on top of school, sports, and time with friends. The certificate says I got the required score on the Rules of the road, deck general, deck nav, chart plotting, and master upgrade tests.

When i am 19 i send in the paper work and they send me the real license but i am a licensed master captain i am ineligible to use it right now that's all

Re: Licensed Captain

OK, but you must have 360 days documented sea time since you were 15. With 90 days you could get a Launch limited license now with 90 days. Legal at 17 . . . ;)
