We at FYLY yachting regard ourselves as a responsible company which follows the Greek law and not the requirements of any "Sailmaster". For the 2005 season the Greek law regarding chartering is that the skipper of the yacht must have their original license with them or an authorized letter from their sailing club (this is for the countries that do not issue sailing licenses). To inform all the readers on this site, the port authorities have the final word not any company! Two years ago, the Greek port authorities accepted the "Sailing Experience form". This was published on our site which has been removed once the Greek law changed. It is also clearly stated on our website in the FAQ section what the requirements are to charter a bareboat, and is the first question which is addressed.

In addition, there is not one insurance company which would cover any damages by the skipper if they are not licensed. Which company would allow their yachts’ on charter with the risk of loosing thousand of Euros worth of damages during the season?

The fact that someone has requested to charter a yacht and does not fulfill the requirements stated by the Greek authorities does not mean that we accept this.
