The International Certificate of Competence (ICC) is an internationally recognised certificate that verifies a person’s ability to operate a recreational vessel. It is commonly required when boating in European waters and is accepted by many countries as evidence of competence, as per the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) Resolution 40.

If you’re planning to charter a yacht in the Mediterranean, cruise inland waterways in Europe, or take your own boat abroad, the ICC helps ensure you meet the legal requirements for safe and responsible boating.

Power (up to 24m): For vessels up to 24 meters in length.
Sail: For sailing vessels.

Customer Reviews

“Cloud Nine is a fantastic boat that handles the sea well-lots of power to get on the plane and kept going if you wanted it. My wife who is not the most confident boater said she wasn’t worried as the boat always felt planted to the water. Rob is a really great guy very laid back and gives you confidence going over the boat and its equipment to give you a great day out on the water.”

“Rob skippered us and our 35ft Sailboat from Portishead to Falmouth. We encountered weather and issues on the boat which without Rob’s leadership, skill and confidence would have caused us to turn back. On the 36 hour journey Rob was consistently professional and friendly, providing coaching and friendly pointers throughout. The entire journey felt like a very easy lesson and we will benefit for many years to come from Rob’s advice and the simple standards he set aboard. Can’t thank him enough and will definitely be in touch in future!.”
