I don't know the legal answer but I know that whenever you take compensation you bear some responsibility. There is a liability issue here. I would talk to a lawyer but I would "guess" that he would say if you take money for a service to be performend ...even if you call it for "gas" you're a commerical opperation and need to be licensed. That would be my guess but I do not know for sure...perhaps one of these new captains would know. You might be able to get around it by having them sign a waver, again a lawyer would know.
Let me ask you...why would you desire to do this? That is take people you don't know around in your boat wasting your personal time for no substaintal gain and increased risk? The ware-and tare on your boat is not worth it. You could be out fishing with your family and friends. Boating expenses are more then just "gas".
