You need a skipper certificate, a VHF certificate, and preferably an ICC (International Certificate of Competency). Our graduates receive the most internationally recognized certificates issued by IYT (International Yacht Training Worldwide). It is the trusted standard of excellence in yacht training, maritime certification and safety. It is also the only approved international body to issue the ICC. The ICC is required by (UNECE IWC) Resolution 40 for both inland and coastal waters in a large part of the European Union.

We run the IYT DAY SKIPPER CREW SAIL + VHF COURSE every month throughout the year. We also offer weekday courses and private courses by request. Usually, we gather at 9am in Limassol marina and start the day with 2 hours of theory, then go for practice at sea for about 4 hours.

Wear sneakers with non-marking or white soles, sun protection (cream, cap, sunglasses), gloves, snacks, and water. There is a place on the yacht where you can put your bags. If it rains or gets colder, take a gilet or a windbreaker - that's enough for Cyprus winter. There is a changing/shower room in the marina.
