A license from the Israeli Ministry of Transport allows license holders to sail any vessel up to 24 meters in coastal cruising. It's worth noting that the Israeli skipper course is considered one of the most comprehensive in the world, so those who hold it can rent boats around the world.
What does our course include? Guided cruises from the day of registration, unlimited theory lessons for the entire duration of the course, personal telephone support by an instructor and receipt of all educational material, including the book "To Be a Skipper" by Roni Cohen.
What are the conditions for obtaining the license? Successfully passing 4 theory tests administered by the Ministry of Transportation in the following subjects: seamanship, navigation A, navigation B, and mechanics. Additionally, you must successfully pass the final practical test, which is held according to the requirements of the Ministry of Transportation in groups of 4 students, on board the ship on which you will learn during the course. The test will be conducted by an external examiner on behalf of the Ministry of Transportation and will be accompanied by an instructor from the school.
