## Applying for a boat license

1. Make sure your boat meets the requirments.
2. Head over to [applications](https://trickys.gg/applications/new) and select Boat License.
3. You cannot apply for your 1st ever license with a sea-plane, you need to apply with a boat. Once you have a [Boat ID](/games/stormworks/boats.md) you can place that onto your sea-plane.

When you provide a screenshot of the boat in the application, showing the length of the boat within the screenshot speeds up the process.
