I don't believe a captains license incurs any extra liability if you are a passenger on a vessel. If you are the captain - you could lose your license if the situation warranted. The quote below is from the maritime institute faq. Q: Am I liable or do I carry additional responsibility for what

re Liability. I seem to remember that the Westsail 32 that was abandoned during 'The Perfect Storm' was actually doing fine by the captain, and it was the pickup crew who went hysterical and called the USCG for rescue. The captain set the boat up and tucked himself into the quarterberth and

Fred, could you elaborate on this? I might be misunderstanding - not unusual - but it sounds like having a CG/6-pack/whatever license increases one's liability on the water. He should have known better, he was licensed. Bob M Ox 33-1 Jax, FL On Fri, Oct 3, 2014 at 5:21 PM, Frederick G Street via
