Question:
I am just wondering if there is any kind of certification and training that I would need to drive a 57 and 160 foot motor yacht, is it just like drivers education except for boats?
Does anyone have information on a 1984 starcraft -starter pop up tent trailer?
Thanks

Lucky man! You don't need any license to pilot a private boat. But I would strongly recommend you take classes if you're going to run a boat of ANY size.I'd suggest you hire a licensed captain experienced with your particular size vessel to show you the basics for a few days and then sign up to pursue the USCG 6-pak license at a minimum. (6-pack is the "Operator of undocumented passenger vessel". It's the most basic USCG boat license)
You need a 100 ton license. You also need quite a bit of logged proveable sea time from a licensed captain.
It takes quite a bit of commitment on your part, do'nt think you're just climbing onto some boat & start learning.
You'll have to start from the bottom & work your way up, sometimes it can take several years.
There are also tests on merritime laws, map & chart reading, & general merritime practices among others.
It does'nt matter what you use it for, or how far you go, a vessel that big, you definately need a license.
Do'nt let this discourage you, it is an attainable goal & a fulfilling, respectable career, it just takes time.

Crazy as it may sound, you don't need any license to drive a recreational yacht of any size. You can legally just buy a 10 million dollar mega-yacht, climb aboard, fumble about for someway to start the engines, and . . . . well, it's probably safe to assume that the next thing you'll do is tear the cleats of the dock, then take out a couple pilings, and crush a dozen or two half-million dollar boats as you bumble across the water like a dump-truck on a skating rink. :)And while there are no laws requiring recreational yacht skippers to be licencsed, there are very clear laws requiring that you operate your craft safely and competently. You are fully liable for the damage you do with your boat, as well. And in some cases you can also be criminally responsible for really stupid actions at the helm of a yacht.
So, take a good course teaching powerboat handling. Start out on a 40-foot boat. Learn. And work your way up from there. Large yachts are much more difficult to drive than cars, and a yacht above 100 feet (let alone 160 feet) is certainly not the place to start learning. I think you'll find that nearly all yachts that size have professional crews.

Yeah its fun though, but i believe you don't need a licence enless you are chartering.How do you get to the bow of the ship in splintercell double agent?
For the 57 foot yacht, legally all you will need is a driver's license. However, your insurance company may require the yacht to be operated by a licensed captain. Some do not.The 160 foot yacht will require a 100 near coastal master's license from the coast guard, which you will have to take a legnthy exam and prove a certain number of days assisting in the operation of a vessel (1st mate). Generally a boat of this size represents a considerable investment, and the insurance company will require a licensed captain as well.
You could get information from your local Coast Guard station about courses they offer in safety and operation of a vessel. Having had a 72 foot classic yacht, I know that whatever can go wrong undr-way usually does, and it's good to be well prepared.
I'm looking for a starter for my Mitsubishi marine engine which is model 260-C or it maybe a C-260.?
Sorry to say, but it depends. If you are Private Owner, not for Hire, probably nothing. If you are For Hire, minimum is likely the U S Coast Guard OUPV License if 6 or fewer, including yourself and any mate or family serving as a mate on your vessel. USCG License Requirements increase from there. Check out the USCG website.More Questions & Answers ...
