About Sea School
Sea School specializes in USCG captain's license preparation — its flagship OUPV (“Six-Pack”) course plus Master licenses, upgrades, towing endorsements, and STCW courses. Training is offered self-paced online, via live online sessions, and in person at campuses in Florida, South Carolina, Alabama, and Louisiana.
The online OUPV course starts around $600 and bundles materials and the proctored final exam; in-person classes cost more. With decades of operating history, it is aimed at people pursuing professional or for-hire maritime work.
