What nautical qualifications exist in Spain?
There are currently 6 recreational nautical qualifications that legally allow the steering of recreational boats in Spain: navigation licence, Basic Navigation Skipper (PNB), Recreational Boat Skipper (PER), Yacht Skipper (PY) and Yacht Captain (CY). Each of the qualifications gives you a series of rights. Depending on your needs in terms of length, type of boat, areas you want to sail in, and distance in miles from the coast, you will need one licence or another. Take a look at each of the nautical courses we offer to obtain each qualification, to inform you of their attributions and course content.
