Questions
Which licence do I need to captain a yacht?+
It depends on the size of the yacht, its flag and whether it operates commercially. Smaller yachts are often run on RYA Yachtmaster or equivalent licences; larger commercial yachts need professional Master certificates. Always check the flag state’s requirements.
