Build a six-pack captain folder a stranger can audit.
OUPVPath maps the desks that actually decide six-pack captain: uscg oupv (six-pack) mmc, state numbered-vessel and local launch rules, and bareboat vs crewed charter line. We publish the USCG OUPV + Bareboat Kit. We do not file or perform the work.

Three desks, three timelines, one folder that keeps them in order.
A file that clears one desk can still die on the next. Here is how six-pack captain actually stacks.
USCG OUPV (six-pack) MMC
The six-pack is a Coast Guard credential. Sea time, drug test, and medical are theirs.
State numbered-vessel and local launch rules
The Coast Guard card is not a state registration for the boat.
Bareboat vs crewed charter line
Calling it bareboat when you are still the captain is how people lose the ticket. Read the line.
Your six-pack captain folder: the path, the papers, and the first-year operating list.
Answer a short intake about your state and where you are in six-pack captain. The USCG OUPV + Bareboat Kit assembles that case.
- Intake axisstate + path + ready-by date
- Case typesnew file · already in the work · crossing a line
- Formatprintable folder + first-year calendar
- Deliveryinstant, after checkout

The folder is complete. The calendar is honest. You walk the counter.
Checklists track the desks that can stop the file. We do not promise the date those desks will move.
Built for the person who has to walk the counter.
We never state a fee, a quota, or a processing time as fact when it genuinely varies by state and county. You get the framework to confirm it, not a number we made up.
Where we name a statute, board, or form, we point you at the office that actually holds it. Everywhere else, we tell you plainly to confirm with that desk.
OUPVPath is an independent publisher, not a law firm, a licensing board, or a company that files or performs this work. We publish a map and a folder. We make no promises about approval or timing.
Every kit is backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee. OUPVPath is a new publisher, so we do not show customer reviews yet. The cards above describe how the folder is built, not testimonials.
Every kind of six-pack captain case, every desk it has to clear.
People new to six-pack captain
You want the first-year folder for this trade, not a national myth.
People already in the work
The gap is usually the file: renewal, COI, and the paper a stranger will ask for.
People crossing a jurisdiction line
A card or permit from one place is not automatic in the next.
People reading the official page
Official pages are honest about what they control. They are quiet about the office next door.
Fees and forms differ by state. OUPVPath hands you the office and the question, not a number we made up.
