License for a yacht?

Hello,
I live in the Netherlands and I am 18. I have been in summer holidays for several years now. Usually on 7-10 yachts. Im not very experienced but I'm curious as to the rules in the US. Since I plan to move over after university I have a few questions. If I were to purchase a yacht in the US, would I need a license to sail it? Are there licenses required for a night there and for long distances? Please let me know,
Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the land of the free!! :)
As long as you are NOT operating the boat "for hire", meaning someone is paying you for tours, etc, the only real limit in the U.S. to the boat you can operate is the size of your checkbook!

If you puchase a 20-30 (aprox 7-10m) boat, you won't need anything but the skill to sail it...
Cheers!
