To operate a yacht in Greece, you must have at least a yacht helmsman license. However, there is no obligation to hold a radio operator's certificate.

It is worth remembering, however, that local law requires that the crew, in addition to the captain, be the so-called co-skipper (he does not need a license), i.e. a person who can handle the boat well enough to bring it safely to the nearest port if necessary. However, does this mean that if you do not have permission, yacht charters in Zakynthos are out of your reach? None of these things!
