Considering chartering a bareboat in Europe like one of our club members did last year? If you are chartering a vessel abroad, you will generally need evidence of your competence. It is a requirement in most European countries that boaters hold the International Certificate of Competence, (or the ICC as it is more commonly known), when using both the coastal and inland waterways. The unnamed club member didn’t know that until a few days before leaving. The ICC is the nearest we have to an international driving license for boaters. In very general terms an ICC is required for the inland waterways of Europe and for the inland and coastal waters of Mediterranean countries. The unnamed club member didn’t have one and his honeymoon was at risk as a result. Be prepared sign up and get your ICC at the San Francisco Yacht Club. This is not a training course more of an assessment of what you already know. You will no doubt learn a lot in the process however, you should already be competent in boat handling and navigation.
