INTERNATIONAL SAILING LICENSE AND CREDENTIALS (SLC™)
If you haven’t heard yet, you now must have a Sailing and Boating License for chartering a sailboat or powerboat in the Mediterranean and many other places globally. No matter how much experience you have and no matter who you are, you have to have a license. Call any overseas yacht charter company to confirm. Most will refer you back to NauticEd because we have the simplest, quickest and least expensive solution; the SLC (for sailing) and the SLC-p (for powerboating).
