International Proficiency Certificate (IPC) for Motor Yachts.
Renting & Operating Boats on your International Travels
If you're thinking of chartering a Motor Yacht in the Mediterranean, your US Boat Captains License may not be recognized in international waters. With an IPC license you are authorized by the European Union to simplify the charter process and authorize permit holders to operate a vessel in European waters.
How Does an IPC Work?
The certificate must be presented to a charter company to rent a boat and then carried aboard at all times while sailing in EU waters. The certificate is good for five years from the date of issue.
This certification can also lower your insurance and allow you to drive your own yacht without a licensed captain.
