No...your boat is not a compulsory boat but YES, transmitting in a foreign country you are supposed to have a US Ship' Station License and you a Restricted Operator permit (in fact anyone using the radio must have one).
At least that's the way I remember it...may get fine tuned here in a few more posts.
Go the FCC route and be done with it.....painful as it is for some people trying to deal with the site.
