Captains license Needed?

SO I know a guy who opened up a small business, for tax reasons only, because you can claim losses for up to 5 years or something like that and gets a dam good chunk of change back every year.
What I was thinking of doing is opening a Fishing Guide Service. My question is- Is a captains license needed to charter/ guide fish. I was told you dont but i dont believe it. I was also told that charter and Guiding are different. Can someone help me out?

I just want a captain's license so I can buy cheap costas and have people call me captain.
ETA: I do think you need it and it's not an easy thing to get. I think you have to have a good bit of boat time under another captain before you can even take the classes.

Not sure but guides advertise if they are licensed

Yes, you have to have at lease a 6 pack license. No matter a guide or charter.

You need your 6pk license at least it takes a while to get its not too hard though

yes you need a license to guide.
Actual guides who do it for a living really hate guys who do it for "tax purposes".
It really devalues what they do.

I know people who show tournament fishing as self employment and do the same thing. You have to show profit in year 5 or 6, cant remember when one explained it to me.
