Don't know about the UK, Johnny.<br /><br />In the US you would need a Captain's License from the US Coast Guard in addition to insurance, etc.<br /><br />My guess is that you would be really risking armageddon without proper training and certification.

Same deal here Johnny. You need insurance,safety certificate on the vessel, permission from your local council (they control who runs what business on the shoreline-you've got to pick people up somewhere) and a captain's ticket.

Have an accident and they will probable put you away for a long time.
