January 4, 2013 Sea School 6 PAK Captains LicenseOUPV Captain’s License This license is properly termed “Operator of Uninspected Passenger Vessel” (OUPV) and commonly referred to as the “6-Pack.” The word “uninspected” means that the equipment required and the design of the boat are less regulated. “6 Pack” refers to the 6 passenger limitation placed on the license when operating as a captain on an uninspected vessel. OUPV licenses are issued with a particular route. Your license can be for INLAND routes (meaning bays, sounds, rivers, lakes, etc.), NEAR COASTAL (NC) routes (out to 100 miles offshore) and the GREAT LAKES route. NC covers all three routes. Throughout the six days of class instruction, you will learn practical aspects of boating, including Rules of the Road, Radio Operation, Survival Techniques, Distress Signaling, Boating Terminology, Boat Equipment, Use of Flares, Use of Life Jackets, Techniques of Seamanship, Anchoring, Aids to Navigation, Boat Registration, Navigation, Knot Tying, Firefighting and more.   Classes are conducted in our Conservation meeting room at Bass Pro Shops Orlando.
