Do I need certification if I charter bareboat?

For more info about the courses, head on over to http://www.nauticed.org/?school=proteus-yacht-charters https://proteusyachtcharters.com Do I need certification if I charter bareboat? How long is a piece of a string? What we mean by this is, it depends on the country you will be sailing in, it differs everywhere, therefore get in contact with us for a better answer! Generally speaking the accepted license is the ICC (International Certificate of Competence). You will definitely need an RYA day skipper license or an ICC license in most parts of the Med, sometimes and this is RARE an ASA 104 or a yacht club membership card will be enough, however, regulations are being enforced and it is rare that these last two will be accepted. Do you really want to leave your precious holiday hinge on the grace of a bureaucratic official? We know for sure that an ICC or an RYA Day Skipper qualification will all be sufficient, but you must take your qualifications documents with you. To gain the ICC is now a fairly simple process, and we recommend the NauticEd process. NauticEd is a dynamic online course bundle coupled with an accredited school for the practical tests that is highly respected and also accepted globally. You can do it in one of two ways. The first is a simple assessment of your theory knowledge using the NauticEd Bareboat Charter Master Bundle of online courses and then verification of your sailing competence by an RYA qualified instructor. The assessment takes one day. It is a pass/fail assessment whereby no instruction is given. The second is that you gain the RYA Day Skipper Certificate, which automatically qualifies you for the ICC. Please note that you cannot do this process with the ASA because the USA has not signed Resolution 40 and thus ASA is NOT authorized in any way to issue any government Sailing or Boating License. Their IPC is not sanctioned or recognized by United Nations. Take heart my fellow Americans, there are a few RYA channels in the USA you can use, and we can help you find them. Gain the ICC by either of: (1) Doing the one-day on-the-water assessment with NauticEd Bareboat Charter Master Bundle of online courses or the RYA Day Skipper online course. OR (2) Gain the RYA Day Skipper Certificate via the RYA Day Skipper online course and the 5 day on-the-water training at an RYA training centre. This automatically qualifies you for the ICC. In the Caribbean and what we call the Exotics, life is far easier, you will be able to take the boat if you can show experience and competence on your sailing resume. Do not leave it to chance however - we will review all of your documentation and qualifications prior to the charter to make sure you can get the boat!
