What is a USCG-licensed captain?

A USCG-licensed captain is a professional boat operator certified by the United States Coast Guard (USCG). This license ensures the captain has completed all required training, passed safety and navigation exams, and has hands-on experience operating vessels. It means they are fully qualified to handle the boat, prioritize your safety, and follow all federal boating regulations during your trip.
