The US Coast Guard Master 100 Gross Tons license allows the holder
to act as an operator of any vessel up to 100 Gross Tons (GT) regardless
of whether or not it is inspected or uninspected. An example of
an inspected boat that would require the operator to hold a master's
license could be; a high speed ferry, a whale watch boat, or a charter
boat certified to carry more than six passengers. Students successfully
completing the Confident Captain/Ocean Pros Master 100 GT course
will satisfy the educational requirements necessary to obtain a
Master's license up to 100 GT. The tonnage of the master's license
that you are actually issued by the US Coast Guard could range from
25-100 GT depending on the tonnage of the vessels on which you have
experience.
The Confident Captain/Ocean Pros Master 100 GT curriculum calls
for 80 hours of classroom training, as required by the US Coast
Guard, in lieu of the Coast Guard exam. Upon successful completion
of the Ocean Pros Master 100 GT course and in-house examination,
a course completion certificate will be issued to the student. The
student can then use that certificate to obtain his/her Master 100
GT license from the US Coast Guard. No testing with the US Coast
Guard will be necessary.
The below information is only designed to be a brief, plain English
description of the general licensing requirements listed in 46 CFR
Part 10. The overall eligibility of each candidate is determined
solely by the US Coast Guard.
