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 classroom time and pass our multiple-choice exams, they will receive a Certificate of Completion from 3bs 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.

Captain Jack's Captains License Course Refund and Cancellation Policy

Captains License Course full payments and deposits are refundable if the student cancels at least 30 days prior to their originally scheduled course start date. Because courses are often full, any cancelled seats will be offered to students on a waiting list. In the event that a refund is required, all refunded amounts of over $100.00 will be issued by check and will be provided through the U.S. mail.

Students that contact us to request rescheduling of a Captains License Course at least 30 days prior to their originally scheduled course start date may transfer (one time) to a future scheduled course at any of our locations. Once a request to transfer to another course starting date has been granted, there is no refund option.

There is no refund option for students that contact us to cancel a Captains License Course less than 30 days prior to their originally scheduled start date. In this instance, students may request a transfer (one time) to any future scheduled course at any of our locations as their only remedy.

If for any reason a student is unable to complete a course that they have already started, the only remedy will be to reschedule the course to a future scheduled date and location (one time) and retake the entire course.

Any student that fails to show up for their scheduled Captains License Course without any notice to us will forfeit any and all payments/deposits that they have made.

Should any course, before or after commencing, need to be shut down for reasons beyond our control, there is no refund option. In this event, we will make every attempt to continue and/or relocate the course as soon as possible; however, the only remedies available to students will be to continue the course once it has reopened at the original location or a newly established location, or to reschedule to a future date and location (one time).

Captain Jack's Boating School LLC reserves the right to cancel any course. Students will be given as much notice as possible. If we do cancel a course, students have the option of transferring to another scheduled course date (one time) or receiving a full refund.
