Is there much work over in the USA for skippers?

I am currently looking to work somewhere different come the summer. Are there any RIB charter companies in the USA in need to skippers for the summer?

All feedback welcomed.

Think it would be tough to get a work permit
Unless you are a sports or film star, they have really cracked down on the temporary permits.
The employment situation is really bad over here .
Bad economy,less shipping ;more captains out of work.

Most of the RIB charter guys (at least in Southern California ), are small operations who have to diversify , to get the bills paid.
Sorry to sound pesamistic

The primary issue would be licensing. You can't skipper a charter boat with passengers for hire on it in the US without a US Coast Guard issued license, random drug test program, and a Transportation Workers ID card issued by the Dept. of Homeland Security.
