Sailing Licence
Do you need sailing experience or a qualification?
To skipper a bareboat charter or flotilla yacht, you need to hold a practical sailing certificate equivalent to RYA Day Skipper Practical qualification or RYA International Certificate of Competence (ICC). For charters in Greece, you must now have the ICC certificate. You must also be assisted by at least one competent crew member, the Co-skipper who must be over the age of 18

We believe you should be well-prepared before you go on holiday. It will give you more confidence and guarantees more holiday fun from day one. If you do not have enough experience, you can hire a skipper or improve your sailing skills in . Are you not an experienced sailor or only have experience on an open sailboat and would like to learn so you can rent a sailboat in Greece yourself? Then we recommend a complete sailing course.
