What is the OUPV License?

The USCG 6 pack Captain’s License allows the holder to Captain uninspected vessels up to 100 gross tons (about 75-90 feet long). Most pleasure vessels are in the uninspected vessel category due to the materials and method of construction. As such, these vessels are limited to 6 paying passengers plus crew – hence the term “6-pack”.

The OUPV License is issued in two forms:

 Captains License-Inland

Requires at least 360 days experience in the operation of vessels. 90 of the 360 days must be in the last 3 years. Experience gained prior to the age of 16 will not be counted.
This license is good on vessels less than 100 gross tons.

  1. This license is restricted to operation within the Boundary Lines ( as described in the USCG application package) excluding the Great Lakes. This license is good on uninspected vessels less than 100 gross tons.
  2. This license can be upgraded to a OUPV Near Coastal once you have achieved 90 days experience outside the Boundary Lines.

Captains License-Near Coastal

This license also requires at least 360 days experience in the operation of vessels, 90 of which must be gained outside the Boundary Lines.
90 of the 360 days must be in the last 3 years. Experience gained prior to the age of 14 will not be counted. This license is good on vessels less than 100 gross tons.

NOTE:

Experience can be counted on your own vessel. A letter and proof of ownership are required.
