Emergency Holiday

[Neraida]

We have decided (about an hour ago) that our forthcoming trip to Greece must include a bareboat yacht charter. Do we need any formal qualifications bearing in mind that we own our own yacht and have a lot of exp in order to get the bareboat?

P.S Everything in Greece is not allowed and at the same time allowed

You might need an International Certificate of Competence, available from the RYA (think the app form is on their website). You need to get someone official to say that you can park a boat - I got this from someone I know that runs a sailing school, sure you can find someone - I think a club official would probably do.

Nobody has ever asked to see it though. It's not the Port Police who will want it, it's the charter co. Who are you thinking of going with?

<hr width=100% size=1>my opinion is complete rubbish, probably.

Just done a week out of Rhodes with Kiriacoulis. Base manager was at great pains to check & photocopy our Coastal Skipper and/or ICC s.
Perhaps we gave off an aura of incompetence/forums/images/icons/smile.gif.
As mentioned earlier, I think the RYA may furnish you with an ICC if you can prove what past experience you have. Give them a ring.
