What constitutes a "Charter"
I know this has probably been beaten like a dead horse but forgive me for missing it.
I'm looking for someone who KNOWS the answer and can provide PROOF such as a State or Federal document. what constitutes a charter? I think many on here spit expenses with the boat owner (Gas, bait, ice, launch fee, etc) does splitting of expenses constitute a charter? What if the Owner shares in none of the expenses. For instance the owner plus 4 people go, they split the expenses 4 ways with the owner going for "free" (Not really, he/she has the expense of the boat) |

It's pretty simple actually, just goes by the term "for hire" so if it was friends and split expense then the captain wasn't for hire.

I think "technically" if the Owner doesn't chip in a fair share it could be considered "for hire".
A Charter Captain or Boat License is required to carry paying customers (where a fee is paid directly or indirectly) for the purpose of taking, attempting to take, or possessing saltwater fish or organisms. http://myfwc.com/license/saltwater/c...shing/charter/ I say "technically", but you could argue wear and tear on the boat and motor is the Owner's "fair share" I guess. I'd be okay doing that on somebody else's boat. Jim

At the same time, I can't remember of ever hearing anyone being ticketed or prosecuted for splitting expenses. |

Ok guys, in black in white.
Look up public law 103-206 section 507. Signed into law under President Clinton. |
