Do you need a licence if you hire a skipper?
The licence rules for Greece (Licence required (ICC, Coastal Skipper, ASA 104, IPC…); Day Skipper not accepted) apply to whoever is in charge of the boat; with a professional skipper, that is the skipper. Details: Greece licence requirements. This is the main reason to book a skippered charter if you don't hold an accepted licence.
