This license permits the holder to transport more than six paying passengers on inspected vessels of up to 100 gross tons (typically 75-90 feet). Different licenses are available based on experience level and specific restrictions.
The tonnage of the license is determined by your experience. For a 100 gross ton license, 90 days must be on vessels of 51 gross tons or above or 180 days must be on vessels of 34 gross tons or above. For a 50 gross ton license, 90 days must be on a vessel of 26 gross tons or above. If you do not meet the tonnage calculation for 50 gross ton or more you are eligible for 25 gross ton license.
