If you are planning to charter in Greece you will need some basic qualifications. There is a new EU law, which is getting phased in across the continent. As near as I can tell the Skipper needs the ASA 101 qualification at a minimum. It has been years since I set foot in a sailing classroom, but the class we took had another experienced skipper going on a charter in Turkey and a total beginner. We had fun and the instructor put up with us, The payoff is big- there are some lovely waters and ports open to you now. The First Mate can use a certificate issued by Sunsail. A current rules of the road class is good all by itself.
