The International Bareboat Skipper Course is a 7-day intensive program designed for sailors who wish to gain the necessary skills and certifications to command a vessel up to 24 meters (78 feet) in length, in fair weather and in sight of land. This course provides a comprehensive introduction to bareboat chartering, equipping candidates with the knowledge and hands-on experience needed for safely operating a yacht in coastal waters and preparing for international cruising. Candidates will learn to safely manage a yacht, make critical decisions during passages, and handle the boat in a variety of situations. Upon completion, the International Bareboat Skipper certification will provide you with the competence required to charter a boat in areas such as the Mediterranean or the West Indies, where there are specific cruising restrictions.
