Sailing Licenses are obligated Croatia, Italy and Spain These countries requires - as first countries with Europe – International licenses such as RYA or I.C.C. You must present this also on the spot. If you will sail without ICC or equivalent you run risk that the holiday prematurely will be finished if you are checked bij the port police. Moreover in the case of damage you could be expiled from the insurance and you will be held for damage.

Wishful Sailing Company recommend therefore for these and other countries to have these licences and experience available. Radio and VHF certificates are advised and certainly obligated Croatia since 2007.

None of the above is for the moment applicable for sailing in Greece, France and Turkey and in case you Charter with Skipper. However we expect some change as well for Greece and no rights can be ontained from this sinc ethe yacht owners will have the final word in these. In these countries nautical experience is more than sufficient. In case of doubt do not hesiate to contact us per hone or per e-mail.

We prefer nautical experience over paper exams but where local authorities insist on presenting licences we cannot do anything besides following these local rules.
