Training for the VDS Segelschein Yacht. Proof of experience for chartering a sailing yacht

The VDS Yacht sailing certificate is very practice-orientated, structured in modules, recognised by charter associations. 40 training hours, of which 30 are actual sailing, with additional modules for tidal knowledge and tidal calculations.
This sailing certificate is proof of competence for yacht sailors who wish to charter a keel boat. In most cases a powerboat licence is requested. However, the powerboat licence does not include any training sufficient to command a sailing yacht.
This sailing certificate addresses that gap and, with its modular system, guarantees highly practice-orientated training with a strong emphasis on practical work. It is no longer about having spent a certain number of nautical miles on a boat, but rather 30 hours of practical training and 10 hours of theoretical instruction must be demonstrated.
