Big misconception, just because you own a boat doesn't mean your qualified or know how to handle the boat, "CCC" are everywhere they own, charter, and are out on the water. Even some "trained" Captains still shouldn't be allowed to be a master of a vessel, just because you got a course cert on bareboating or a USCG 6pack doesn't in any way qualify you to operate safely and efficiently out on the water.
