The RYA Day Skipper Photo-I.D. Certificate is the 'Private Pilots' Licence' of Yachting, and is the most widely recognised and respected certificate for bareboat or flotilla chartering worldwide in places like Greece, Croatia, etc, or for buying & sailing your own yacht. It represents a high standard of training in safety, navigation, berthing in tight marinas, anchoring, mooring, sail handling, pilotage and passage-making. It is recognised by insurance companies if you need yacht insurance, and you can even have it Commercially Endorsed to begin skippering yachts as a career.
