The USCG Operator of Uninspected Passenger Vessels (OUPV/Six-pack Captain’s License) allows the holder to carry up to six paying passengers plus crew on uninspected vessels up to 100 gross tons (about 75-90 feet long). These are usually smaller vessels that normally engage in charter fishing, SCUBA diving or sailing cruises. As such, these vessels are limited to six paying passengers plus crew – hence the term “Six-pack.”
Course Price: $895, includes all course materials
Additional costs apply for drug testing, medical examination, TWIC card ($125), Fee to Coast Guard ($100)

This license requires at least 360 days of documented experience in the operation of vessels, with 90 of the 360 days occurring in the last three years. Experience gained prior to 16 years of age may not be counted. The OUPV Inland License can be upgraded to an OUPV Near Coastal License once 90 days experience seaward of the boundary line has been achieved.
