Can you rent a yacht in Turkey- do I need a license? The requirements.
Small boats (under a certain horsepower or length), electric boats, crewed yacht charters, and gulet charters may not require a license. Larger boats or those with more powerful engines need a skipper’s license. Before you confirm your sailing trip to Turkey, please send us a copy and we will check it for you. You need to have the original copies on board, so don’t forget to take them.
