What qualifications do I need to charter a bare boat sailing yacht?
To charter a bare boat sailing yacht, it is necessary for two crew members (skipper and co-skipper) to have sailing certificates proving their competence. If no such certificates are issued in your home country, you will be required to present a reference from your yacht club verifying your ability to sail. Also the skipper and co-skipper will be asked to complete and sign an official self-declaration form, stating their sailing competence. You may also be required to submit a sailing resume that will enable us to assess your ability to sail in safety. We reserve the right to insist that charterers hire a professional skipper if their sailing skills are not judged sufficient.
