As with flying, there is a fair amount to learn. Proficiency comes from days of doing and in the case of boating experiencing many different conditions and areas. The captain's license requires these days at sea to make sure the operator has significant experience. If you're not planning it as a profession, this experience should take 5+ years.

You may find the structure of the United States Power Squadron to your liking for instruction.
