ISSA license is a lifetime.

Every charter company has their own standards to qualify prospective charterers. Some may accept the ISSA Inshore Skipper certification alone but most will also ask for resumes of experience. The ISSA Inshore Skipper certification will show the charter company that you have received formal training and have passed a rigorous program with specific standards.

Charter companies look at a variety of variables in qualifying a charterer: experience, certifications, size of boat being applied for, charter area and conditions, and the experience and certifications of crew members.

NauticEd International Sailing Education is recognized by the United States Coast Guard as a sailing education body delivering practical ON-THE-WATER training as well as theory coursework all meeting the American National Standards EDU-3. Additionally, all Mediterranean port authorities and global yacht charter companies recognize and accept the NauticEd sailing license – the SLC – as valid for skippering a yacht on a bareboat charter.

ISSA certification provides:

• Online, at home, in your own time multimedia theory learning integrates perfectly with on-the-water practical teaching to make you a confident and competent sailor.
• Quite frankly, there are too many organizations “selling” certifications. This endangers the holder of those certifications, their friends, their family, close by boaters, and charter-boat vessels. This practice raises insurance rates for the responsible sailors, soaks up search and rescue resources, and gives false confidence to poorly trained and inexperienced sailors.NauticEd takes a stand for quality and ensures its students are confident and competent. Thus, the SLC. It is a verification of the Sailing License and Credentials of a worthy sailor.This means that the holder of an SLC has:
  • a valid national government boating endorsed license
  • sufficient documented on-the-water sailing experience; on a properly sized vessel
  • recent documented on-the-water sailing experience
  • been assessed to the ICC standard for on-the-water sailing competence
  • completed and passed at least 40 hours of theory study including Coastal and Electronic Navigation
  • completed a 100-question test on all aspects of skippering, sailing, bareboat chartering, and navigation
  • authentic credentials; all data is secured and verified online through this portal

  Finally, the SLC exceeds any other international required standard for bareboat chartering. You should extend any bareboat chartering courtesy possible to the holder.

  Enter the SLC number of the card holder above to view and verify their Sailing License and Credentials as well their full sailing resume.

Once you have completed your certification, you will receive an NauticEd certification card! The card has details of your certification level and date, along with you and your instructor’s name and number.

The NauticEd license is a lifetime.

Ask any yacht charter company and they all will tell you that they require a complete sailing resume; not a certification. NauticEd helps build and store your sailing resume in the cloud – for FREE.

The International Certificate of Competence (ICC) and the Sailing License and Credentials (SLC) are internationally accepted licenses for skippers wanting to charter recreational yachts in European waters.
