Paying Passengers

[ecgossett]

Is there anyway around the legal requirement of having a six-pack license to take out paying customers for day sails in a 18ft sailboat?

Rafting guides, and canoeing guides take people all the time with out this.

From what I understand Inland waters is different and subject to state rules if non navigable to the ocean. 6 pack is on navigable waters and USCG jurisdiction and not state, state has control over inland waters.

In My state I was talking to someone who said no vessel inspection and just a wiritten state exam, no days at sea requirement.

Scary if you ask me.

I sure won't be going on any public vessels with that rule in place.
