Hey Sean.

I have some important questions to ask you about qualifications for a skipper in the charter business.

Now that we are on the subject of "Red Tape"? I just thought I'd ask that question.

I have some very important questions for you. And since you are in the charter business. I need to ask you some very important questions. As to what federal regulated qualifications, do you need in order to go into charter business?

Captain's license? six pac or 100 ton license? Which is better?

Do you need to know EMT 1?

Do you have to know about Admirality laws?

What are the minimum about having diving charters. And do you have to be a master diver certifified? (That's if you do know?)

Does the skipper of the boat have to know how to cook?

What's the minimum amount of sea miliage does one has to have in order to be certified?

What kind of business insurance does your boat/business needs. Say to operate over seas. Or in an area that is a American territory?

Sean. I believe you have some of the answers. Maybe not all of them. But, I wrote to you because you are in the business. Could you help out with any information on this subject. I would really want to go into this business some day down the road.

Any info, would be much appriciated.

Thanks!!
