- BA Master's license appropriate to the tonnage and operate a vessel holding a valid COI for that number of passengers✓ Correct
- COnly a radar endorsement
- DA second OUPV credential
Explanation
Carrying more than six passengers means the vessel must be inspected (COI) and the operator must hold a Master's license of suitable tonnage and route. The OUPV alone never authorizes carrying seven or more passengers.
Authority: 46 CFR Subchapter T; 46 CFR Part 11
