List of Current Party and Charter Boat License Holders

This dataset is a list of all individuals and corporate entities that hold a valid Party and Charter Boat (P/C) license for the current calendar year and their general locations. The P/C license is issued by the Department and allows the license holder (or employees of the license holder) to carry recreational fishing passengers for hire on a registered vessel or to land fish taken by recreational fishing passengers outside the territorial waters of the state. The P/C license can be issued to a business (corporate entity) or to an individual and can be issued to both residents of New York State and non-residents. The license expires on December 31st of the year it is issued, and license holders must apply annually in order to be issued the license. License holders are required to associate a vessel with their license; if they have multiple vessels they use for party/charter trips, they must purchase a license for each vessel. This dataset includes name (either corporate or an individual person), city, county, state, county FIPS code if in New York, vessel name, and vessel registration number.
