Hi, does anyone know which qualifications are required to helm/drive super yachts over 24m in the Med? Will a motorboat yachtmaster and additional STCW certificate cover me?
I imagine I need insurance with first and third party-any ideas?
 
First things first, yes a Commercially endorsed Yachtmaster will cover you over 24m if the vessel is under 200 tonnes, but you will struggle to get insurance as a person, the boat will usually be insured by the owner and you will either be named on the policy or skippering with the owner’s permission, either way make sure you have it in writing!
