In Spain, to obtain the
Capitán de Yate (Yacht
Ocean Navigation ) license, you must first hold the PER and Patrón de Yate (Coastal Yacht Skipper ) licenses.
- Celestial navigation
- Ship theory
- Naval kinematics
- Meteorology
- Oceanography
- Marine English
It is an official government title.
The qualification is valid throughout the EU and accepted almost everywhere in the world.
There tends to be reluctance in the UK, the USA, Australia, and South Africa. :(
fair winds!
