Master 25/50/100 Ton
Inland/Near Coastal/Great Lakes License
License Requirements:
The USCG Master License allows the holder to operate
inspected vessels as well as undisputed vessels. Any vessel that is certified
(authorized) by the USCG to carry more than 6 paying passengers plus crew must
have a Captain who holds a 25/50/100 Ton Master license. Ferry boats, harbor
tours boats, whale watch boats are examples of inspected vessels.
There are 4 different Master Licenses a mariner may qualify
for such as the Master Inland or Master Near Coastal. Both the amount of sea
service time and the size vessels you have been on will influence the license
you are eligible for. Master licenses are tonnage rated at 25 GT (gross tons),
50 GT, or 100 GT. The tonnage you are awarded is determined by the size vessels
you've gained experience on in the last 3 years - it's called "recency
experience." You are not required to advance through the different licenses one
at a time. If you meet the USCG requirements for the master 100GT Near Coastal,
you'll get that license as your first license. The 4 types of up to 100GT Master
licenses are listed below along with the requirements:
- Master Inland: 360 days underway experience since age 15;
90 of those 360 days in the last 3 years. Completion of approved Course and
Test.
- Master Inland/OUPV: 360 days underway experience since
age 15; 90 of those 360 days in the last 3 years; 90 of those 360 days outside
the boundary lines.
- Master Inland/Mate N.C.: 360 days underway experience
since age 15; 90 days of those 360 days in the last 3 years; 180 of those 360
days outside the boundary lines.
- Master Near Coastal: 720 days underway experience since
age 15; 90 of those 720 days in the last 3 years; 360 of those 720 days
outside the boundary lines.
