In this video we explain how to actually get a license that works for Med charters when you’re based in North America. Many Mediterranean yacht charter companies tell you that you have to get your ICC (International Certificate of Competence). But they’re often using “ICC” like an eponym—just like saying you’re going to “Google” something. What they really mean is that you need a recognized sailing license that their country and their insurance accept. In North America, getting an ICC is difficult because it’s issued through the Royal Yachting Association (RYA) in the UK and there are limited options here. That’s why, if you’re in the US or Canada, the practical path is to get your SLC (Sailing License and Credentials) instead.
