OUPV Licensing Requirements

The USCG Operator of Uninspected Passenger Vessels (OUPV/Six-pack) Captains License allows the holder to carry up to six (6) paying passengers on uninspected vessels up to 100 gross tons. These are usually smaller vessels that normally engage in charter fishing, scuba diving, or tour cruises. As such, these vessels are limited to six (6) paying passengers plus crew, hence the term "Six-Pack." The OUPV License is issued in three forms:

  • OUPV Inland License
  • OUPV Great Lakes & Inland
  • OUPV Near Coastal

 OUPV Inland License: The OUPV Inland License is restricted to operation shoreward of the boundary line, excluding the Great Lakes. This license is valid on uninspected vessels up to 100 gross tons. This license requires at least 360 days of documented experience in the operation of vessels with a minimum of 90 of those days occurring in the last three years. Experience gained prior to 16 years of age may not be counted. The OUPV Inland License can be upgraded to an OUPV Near Coastal License once 90 days experience seaward of the boundary line has been achieved.

OUPV Great Lakes & Inland: This license requires at least 360 days of documented experience in the operation of vessels with a minimum of 90 days service on the Great Lakes.

OUPV Near Coastal: This license requires at least 360 days of documented experience in the operation of vessels with a minimum of 90 days seaward of the boundary line in the last three years. This license is valid on vessels up to 100 gross tons and out to 100 nautical miles.

Note: Sea Service experience can be counted on your own vessel. A Sea Service Form and proof of vessel ownership are required. Experience on other peoples’ vessels can also be counted. In this instance, to verify experience claimed and vessel details, a completed Sea Service Form with the owner's signature must accompany your application.

Additional Licensing Requirements Include:

1)  You must be at least 18 years of age to acquire an Operator of Uninspected Passenger Vessels credential

2)  You must acquire a Transportation Workers Identification Credential (TWIC)

3)  You must undergo physical and eye exams

4)  You must undergo USCG pre-employment drug testing

5)  You must complete USCG-approved First Aid/CPR/AED training

6)  You must successfully complete a USCG-approved OUPV training course

No USCG Regional Exam Center testing is necessary.  All testing is done at our facilities. Once students complete the required in-classroom time and pass our multiple-choice exams, they will receive a Certificate of Completion from 3B's Captains School. OUPV Certificates of Completion must be submitted to the USCG within one year of their date of issuance, along with the application package and proof of payment of required USCG fees. Upon approval of the application package, the United States Coast Guard will issue the OUPV Captains License credential.
