To get the near coastal license it says you have to have 360 days with 90 being in the last three years and 90 must be outside theboundary lines. What does the "boundary lines" mean?

Can you take the 100 Ton online? And if so, where is the best place to go? If not, where would be the best place to go say in Pensacola or Mobile?

Do the 90 in the last three years all have to be outside 3 mi or do you just have to have a total of 90 outside of the boundary over all your time. I have owned blue water boats for twelve years and almost all of my time has been outside three miles,but my time offshore has dropped to a little less than 30 hours a year,because I am doing more nearshore fishing cobia ,reds and etc. Also when you go along as an angler on someone elses boat does that time count?

The boundary line referred to in the CFR's for a near-coastal license is 12mi for the Gulf of Mexico, It is NOT 3 MILES. This is the link for the Coast Guard Policy letter refering to boundaryintheGOM:

100 ton Licenses have specific minimum sea-service tonnage requirements, 6 pack licenses have no tonnage requirements, and 100 ton Licenses require twice the sea-time of the 6-pack license. You guys offering advice on stuff without the factscould really screw people up.I would recommend anyone needing info on licensing contact a reputable training school like Passport Marine in Pensacola or contact theCoast Guard NMC directly. Advice online should always be taken with a grain of salt. Hope this helps, best of luck guys. Later.

You can document the time on your own boat with proof of ownership. If you document the time on someone else's boat you have to have a signed letter from that person.
