What kind of training do you need to be a skipper on a tourist boat?

I found this answer from past questions, and also a link to more information. Good luck with your pursuit, it sounds like fun.

The system in Australia is much more akin to the British system than the American. The following rules are as laid down by 'Maritime Safety Victoria, but the navigational limits relate to all of the States of the Commonwealth of Australia.

Apart from anything else, you don't need a licence. The correct term is a Certificate of Competency.

I don't know what you mean by mega-yacht, or where its fictional journeys will take it, but if it is not longer than 24 metres and does not sail beyond Australian coastal waters by more than a hundred miles, a Master's Certificate of Competency, Class 5 is what is legally required.

The pre-requisites for Applicants are as follow :-

Have attained the age of 19 years.

Have achieved the required Qualifying Service as detailed below.

Have successfully completed in the last 5 years, an approved course for Master Class 5 (Certificate III) conducted by an approved Registered Maritime Training Organisation.

Have successfully completed the relevant short courses, as detailed below.

Hold a valid Eyesight Test Certificate issued by a duly qualified Ophthalmologist or Optometrist within the previous 12 months;

MSV Application Form for a Certificate of Competency duly completed, signed, witnessed and submitted with the following documents:

documented proof of Qualifying service

photographic Proof of Identity (copy of photo ID)

two (2) passport size photographs each signed on the reverse by the applicant

references from 2 persons in the Industry attesting to the applicant's good character

the appropriate fee.

Once the Application Form and supporting documentation is approved by Marine Safety Victoria (MSV):

Satisfactorily complete an oral assessment conducted by MSV.

Relevant short courses

Hold a valid 'Marine Radio Operators Certificate of Proficiency'.

Hold a valid 'Elements of Shipboard Safety' (OH&S at Sea) course certificate.

Hold a valid 'First Aid Level 2' course certificate.

Qualifying Service

"Service" means performance of a duty related to the functions normally permitted to the holder of a Certificate for which the service qualifies.

The total Qualifying Service in an appropriate capacity should include:

A minimum of 30 months qualifying service.

And which should include within the previous 5 years:

At least 3 months service in Trading vessels.

At least 12 months service in vessels less than 35 metres in length.

In addition:

At least 50% of the qualifying service should be on a Sea Going vessel.

Service must be performed in a vessel underway in an appropriate capacity regularly engaged in deck duties for not less than 5 hours in each calendar day on vessels preferably not less than 8 metres and not more than 80 metres in length.

In the US and Canada, you would need an OUPV Captains License (commonly referred to as a "6 pack License") and/or a Charter Boat Captain's license possibly with a Master or Limited Master Credential (if carrying more then 6 passengers).

In Canada, the Canada Shipping Act sets the standards for appropriately trained and certified vessel operators, for example, all commercial vessels must have a Certified Master, and there is required Small Vessel Proficiency training.

Starting from scratch, you need 360 days "sea time" of documented experience - and in Canada, with the short boating season, that will take you 3 or more years. In addition, you have to be 18 or over, pass a physical, drug test and eye exam, complete CPR/First Aid training, and completion of USCG-approved OUPV class and pass a final exam. So for sure - this is NOT a fast solution to obtaining a job (if that is what you are thinking).

In binary options you will have the possibility to predict the movement of various assets such as stocks, currency pairs, commodities and indices. Learn how you can make money trading binary options https://tr.im/sytwO

An option has only two outcomes (hence the name “binary” options). This is because the value of an asset can only go up or down during a given time frame. Your task will be to predict if the value of an asset with either go up or down during a certain amount of time.
