- ICC Sail Certification.
- RYA Coastal Skipper Practical Course Certification.
- ASA 104 Bareboat Cruising Certification.
In case the skipper does not have any of the above certifications, he will not be legally allowed to charter a yacht
in Greece.
All skippers that hold an RYA Day Skipper have to apply for an ICC sail certification by using the following link and have the ICC certification before their charter in Greece. In any other case, they will not be legally allowed to charter a yacht in Greece.

The “Co-skipper” is not required to have a recognized qualification but they must be over 18 years of age and suitably experienced to assist the skipper if needed.
