The license must be in English language or officially translated and suitable for the specific yacht.
Day skipper license is not accepted by the Greek authorities.
In addition, the skipper is obliged to keep on board an updated authorized crew list at all times.

In case you want to hire a skipper, there is no need for you to have any license. When skipper or hostess is required, it is compulsory to have their own cabin.
