Detailed description: Add a boating license to the server, handed out either by a set ingame company (like Blaine Aviation has with the pilot licenses) or from a Maritime Authority (discussed in an other suggestion).

Commands to add: None

Items to add: Boating license

How would your suggestion improve the server?: Realism; legally IRL you need a boating license unless you use a small peddle boat.

NO. We need less bureaucracy to RP not more. A lot of countries don't need anything more than a driving license, I sailed a boat  IRLin Italy with only my driving license. 

Coming back to California you can get your "boating license" ONLINE for $34 dollars and it's AGE dependent.  This is ridiculous. Source:  https://www.boat-ed.com/california/

Yea In belgium / Holland you need a special license but in america you don't.
However a fishing license like the hunting license wouldn't be bad.

“In other words, in order to legally go boating in the USA, you must adhere to your individual State's law. Each state has authorized NASBLA as the SOLE organization to issue a boating license. Thus, if you hold a NASBLA state boating license then you, by default, hold a USA boating license.” - www.nauticed.org

 

”As of January 1, 2021, California law requires all boaters 40 years of age or younger to carry the California Boater Card. All boaters regardless of age are required to obtain the card by 2025.” - www.americanboating.org

So that's new?
Anyhow i think the license should just be purchased not actualy being obtained trough an other company just like hunting and driving / taxi just the purchase is enough.

So you want a pointless loophole of someone going to the "DMV" spending the equivalent of $350 IG to have a "boat card". What a complete waste of time for everyone involved.

What you WANT and what is accurate for California are two very different things. Not only is this ridiculous this is completely inaccurate for California as the "boat card" is an ONLINE course, not a practical assessment.

We don't need this, it won't increase nautical RP, if anything it will make it more bothersome to get into. Big fat no.
