+ you should get an application for the license with the purchase of a new radio. You can also get the application on-line. It would be best to get one and I think they are free and for life (at least they used to be and I still use mine from 1968). If you ever got into trouble and wanted to call the CG you might be glad you have it. (the Coast guard watch that answers calls is not always at sea, sometimes you get their comms stations ashore)
Good luck

No, you do not need a license for a marine radio as long as you do not use it for ship to shore purposes. Calling other boats is fine.

it's been a long time since i renewed my license, which is non-existant now, but it seems to me that if you xmit under 5 watts, no license required...over 5, license required. that could be a little bit wrong. it might be 1 watt.

You do not need a license unless you are going abroad, including Canada and the Bahamas.
