Licensing

Operators who carry paying passengers typically need captains with U.S. Coast Guard credentials, vessels that meet Coast Guard safety and inspection requirements for their passenger count, commercial insurance, and the state fishing and local business licenses that apply. Dive operators also depend on instructor and professional certifications, and in the Keys, Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary rules and permits can affect where and how a commercial operator works. Each approval should be reviewed in a sale.

Frequently asked questions

Can I sell my charter or dive business if I am the captain?

Often yes, but owner dependence matters. A buyer will look at whether other licensed captains and instructors can run trips, and a transition period where you introduce them to repeat customers and partners can protect the value.
