Some insurance companies require a licensed Captain to be running the boat, whether it is the owner, or a hired hand.

One company sets the limit at 70 feet. (70 and over requires a ticket)

The US Coast Guard requires a licensed Captain for any yacht over 199 tons.
(Volume, not displacement)

Some European states require a ticket for any boat over 15 Meters.
