When is a sailing license needed when renting a yacht?

The sailing license requirements depend on the country where you are planning to stay, as well as the model of the boat you choose. Usually, small vessels, with an engine equal to or below 15 HP, can be driven without a patent. For large boats and yachts a license is required - you can find information on this on the profile page of each Boataround boat/yacht.

You do not have a license or you do not feel confident in the role of a skipper? You can book a yacht with a skipper on board!
