There’s still time to register online for the Antique Boat Museum’s (ABM) The Captain School, which will run from February 24 to March 7. The course will take place at ABM in Clayton, New York, and is designed to prepare experienced boaters to apply for their Merchant Mariner Credential through the USCG National Maritime Center. This accreditation allows boaters to captain any boat for hire. Due to popular demand, the class size has increased from 12 students to 24.
ABM is also offering the Operator of Uninspected Passenger Vessels (OUPV) license course, permitting mariners to captain a vessel with six or fewer passengers, from February 24 to March 3 with testing on March 7. The Masters Upgrade course, allowing captains to run 25-, 50- or 100-GRT vessels, will take place March 4-6 with testing also on March 7.
