Plan your next trip with NauticEd Yacht Charters

Ready to charter with confidence? Take NauticEd’s Bareboat Charter Course to learn the exact skills charter companies expect—planning, docking, boat handling, systems, and real-world charter prep—so you show up prepared and enjoy the trip instead of stressing through it.

If you’re planning a bareboat charter, the rules are simpler than they sound: in most Caribbean destinations you typically need a boating resume, while in much of the Mediterranean (and places like the Seychelles) you usually need both a license and a resume.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• What a boating resume is (and what charter companies/insurers want to see)
• Why the Caribbean often accepts resume-only
• Why the Mediterranean commonly requires a license + experience
• The difference between SLC vs ICC vs IPC and why some credentials get questioned
• The “zero-to-hero” problem: having a license, but not enough real experience to be approved
