    Checking for a friend of mine with a pending delivery on a newly purchased yacht. Does a delivery Captain (Canadian) need STCW doing an inland (Great Lakes) delivery from Canada to USA.?

    I think I found my answer:

    Subpart K—Vessels Subject to Requirements of STCW
    Source: USCG-2004-17914, 78 FR 78010, Dec. 24, 2013, unless otherwise noted.

    [​IMG] Back to Top

    §15.1101 General.
    (a) Except as noted in paragraphs (a)(1) and (2) of this section, the regulations in this subpart apply to seagoing vessels as defined in §10.107 of this subchapter.

    (1) The following vessels are exempt from application of the STCW Convention:

    (iv) Vessels operating exclusively on the Great Lakes or on the inland waters of the U.S., in the Straits of Juan de Fuca, or on the Inside Passage between Puget Sound and Cape Spencer.

    I have never EVER seen anyone ask for STCW or check it in the US, ANYWHERE on yachts under 130'. (Perhaps larger, but I don't run those or deal with them).
