Sailing Qualifications

Minimum requirements involve that:

• one crew member presents the Port Authority an appropriate sailing certificate, proving his competence as Skipper, and
• one experienced crew member is declared as Co-skipper; Co-skipper should possess equivalent certification as Skipper or may otherwise sign a self-declaration statement for the port authority verifying his sailing experience.
• Subject to applicable Greek legislation, qualifications are to be approved by the local Port Authority on the day of departure. Charterer is at all times liable for suitability of his qualification and certification. Day Skipper Certificates may be rejected by the Port Authority and Charterers are therefore advised to ensure they have an International Certificate of Competence (ICC). Typically, any holder of “Day Skipper” certificate can obtain their ICC from the yachting association that issued their Day Skipper certificate and the process usually requires nothing more than a simple application. Please contact your yachting association in time for your trip (we suggest that you allow at least 20 days for the certificate to be issued). Any other certificates bearing daylight use limitations are being rejected by Greek port authorities, if charter duration exceeds 24 hours. Other causes of license rejection may include navigation limited to less than 20nm.
• Broker, Stakeholder and Owner shall not be responsible if skipper certification is rejected by Port Authority and PLORI Yachting reserves the right to require that charterers hire a professional skipper, if their sailing skills and qualifications are deemed insufficient
