Oh yea if you want the license, you have to have CPR training and be certified, that costs about another 120. I don't know the cost of the

News is........ ALL CERTIFIED CAPTIANS (including those holding OUPV) will now have to obtain a TWIC card. (Transportation workers ID card). If a charter captian don't have it he will be ""illegal"". This will likely be taking affect before this fishing season. I have been keep watch on it, but I have already pre-registered... Oh yea, of course its another couple of hundred dollars involved and another background check. (been there done that.....because I work in the nuclear field.)
