In Floriduh you will need a USCGS Captains license 6 pak UPV and a State guide license. Then charterboat insurance with about a 500 thousand in liability or more.
Step one is to record 360 days of water time in the last ten years. There are a bunch of other things needed like random drug testing and CPR and first aid. Oh and also use of a AED is now required with your First aid cert. It took me 9 months to complete training and testing BTW. There are Captains coarses that are three weeks long and insure passage..
