WHAT IS ICC ?

The ICC is a certified level of competency required when operating pleasure craft in most European coastal or inland waters. Although the ICC is valid in any country that has signed the agreement, many other countries that have not signed may also require this certificate. If a boat owner requires evidence of competence when visiting another European country, the ICC will often suffice. It can also be useful for individuals wishing to charter a yacht. IYT Worldwide has been approved by the Irish Government to issue ICC Licenses to qualified applicants of any nationality on their behalf. Additionally, IYT Worldwide has had approval from the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) of Great Britain for many years to issue ICC Licenses. IICC Certificates are from 10 to 24 meters, Sail and/or Power, Coastal and/or Inland, plus Personal Watercraft Operations (PWC). Please check  this note  to determine your eligibility for obtaining the ICC.

Around noon (when wind conditions are favorable), we set sail for our next destination arriving between 16:00-18:00 PM. During this free time until dinner guests may choose to swim, rest, study or take a nature walk.

WHY WAIT?

LIFE DOES NOT!


Our Mission: To Teach Sailing on the Sea and
Create Unforgettable Memories
in the Aegean Sea.

Pablo Neruda's Poetry

He who becomes the slave of habit,
who follows the same routes every day,
who never changes pace,
who does not risk and change the color of his clothes,
who does not speak and does not experience,
dies slowly.

He or she who does not turn things topsy-turvy,
who is unhappy at work,
who does not risk certainty for uncertainty,
to thus follow a dream,
those who do not forego sound advice at least once in their lives,
die slowly.

He who does not travel, who does not read,
who does not listen to music,
who does not find grace in himself,
she who does not find grace in herself,
dies slowly.

Let's try and avoid death in small doses,
reminding oneself that being alive requires an effort far greater than the simple fact of breathing.

We understand that every student is unique, with different backgrounds, abilities, and levels of knowledge. Therefore, we believe in tailoring our training to everyone. At our school, every instructor is patient and friendly, going above and beyond to ensure that every student receives personalized attention. Our courses are designed to be engaging and enjoyable, incorporating a variety of multimedia tools, practice cards, computer software, and books to help students grasp theoretical concepts.

Our yachts are spacious, luxurious, and fully equipped with modern amenities to enhance the learning experience. We believe that sailing should be a pleasure, and we strive to introduce our students to the joys of sailing in a comfortable and supportive environment. We maintain our boats to the highest standards, ensuring that all systems are in working condition and performing regular preventative maintenance to prevent any breakdowns.

Our dedication to excellence has earned us a reputation as one of the premier sailing schools worldwide. Our customers come from all corners of the globe, including those who have received prior training from other schools. They consistently leave us with satisfied and happy faces, often returning for chartering, advanced training, or simply to enjoy sailing vacations. Some of our students have even gone on to purchase their own boats. Many of our students have formed lifelong friendships, staying in touch with us long after their training has ended. As instructors, there is no greater satisfaction than witnessing our students succeed and thrive in their sailing adventures.
