You also need to have an International Amateur Radio Permit. You

I found myself in Vancouver on Field Day weekend and received a
warm welcome
from the local hams when I showed up at midnight Saturday.
Unfortunately
there wasn't a key or paddle in sight, but I did work some 40M
phone. Nobody
asked for my IARP. :-)
An IARP is not required for operation by US amateurs in Canada--there
is a reciprocal operating agreement which allows operation without
any paperwork. The IARP is good for LU, PY, YS, HP, OA, 9Y, CX and
YV, however.
When operating from a ship in international waters, it is necessary
to have a license or other operating permission (CEPT, IARP,
reciprocal license, etc.) from the country in which the ship is
registered, in addition to permission of the captain.
