Ever wanted a captain’s license and wondered if it’s possible in Midcoast Maine? Well, it is possible because locally, you can complete the training and medical requirements to obtain a U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) captain’s license. Want to learn how?
On Saturday, November 21, from 10 a.m. to noon, attend a special Meet ‘n’ Greet event at the Sail, Power, & Steam Museum (SPSM) in Rockland with Captain Greg Metcalf, a Coast Guard-approved instructor, who will explain all the steps to obtaining a captain’s license.
Over coffee and sweets, Capt. Metcalf will explain the federal process handled through the National Maritime Center (NMC) wherein you can obtain a captain’s license as the Operator of Uninspected Passenger Vessels (OUPV/Six-Pack), or obtain a Master license allowing for captaining vessels of 25, 50, or 100 tons.
