It’s an assurance from one government to another that the certificate holder is sufficiently competent to be operating a pleasure craft, despite not holding the visited country’s certificate.
The motor cruising courses are normally non residential.
If you want to stay on the boat, it is possible for an extra fee. Please contact us for any information.
