SHIP AND COAST LICENSING SERVICE. 
My wife, Suzy, N6GLF, offers ship station and private coast station marine radio licensing service.  She has the inside track direct to the FCC to many times obtain ship station call signs and MMSI numbers within 48 hours!  Call 714/549-5000 and ask for Suzy.  Filing rates are approximately $125 for ship licenses, and more if you plan to set up your yacht club with a shore station license.  Let us take the internet frustration out of the FCC's universal licensing service, and let us do it for you!
